Assess professional duties and resulting loss.
An unsatisfactory outcome does not by itself establish professional negligence. Review the agreed scope, the applicable professional standard and what would probably have happened without the alleged error. Complaints procedures, contractual claims and civil proceedings can offer different remedies and may need to be coordinated without overlooking limitation.
