Conveyancing solicitors negligence did not identify mistake in a lease

A firm of solicitors failed to notice a mistake in a commercial lease that changed when their clients could end the lease. This meant that the client missed the deadline and was exposed to an additional £40,000 in rent. With the benefit of a ‘no win, no fee’ agreement and after the event insurance, Bell Lax negotiated a reduced rent with the landlord and then recovered all of the rent due from the solicitors.
