This essential text is published in response to an increasing level of claims and complaints aimed at solicitors and other practitioners as part of a growing compensation culture affecting all aspects of legal practice. It performs two absolutely key roles. Firstly, to help legal practitioners in avoiding negligence claims and complaints in wills, trusts, executries and others and secondly, if such claims are made, the text provides guidance on how best to manage the outcome and minimise damage to you and your firm. Author Rennie Galbraith provides an overarching review of the law relating to negligence including recent cases and decisions, statutes and complaints. The text then drills down into specific areas of law, including executries, wills, trusts, tax, asset protection schemes and powers of attorney. There are numerous areas which can impact on negligence, many developing in recent years and of which today’s solicitor must be aware. Data protection and computer security is now combined with issues around cloud based storage. Also, major changes occurring within the Scottish legal market have had significant effects, such as the Smith Commission and the development of non-solicitor legal services and alternative providers.
