Nelsons partner Cathryn Selby (pictured), who specialises in professional negligence claims, said: "Over the past six months, we've been supporting clients who are considering legal action against Hargreaves Lansdown for its promotion of the Woodford Equity Income Fund. During this time, we've become more aware of Link Fund Solutions' apparent failure to address at a much earlier stage the substantive issue of the increasing illiquidity of the fund. "This will have affected anyone who invested in the fund, particularly those who did so after December 2017 as they may well say their losses could have been avoided had Link Fund Solutions done its job properly."
