Summary: In spite of the long period of time in which the claims of civil liability against lawyers have been restricted in number, during the past few years the situation has undertaken a significative turnover. During the past few years, we have seen the number of successful claims against the formentioned professionals rise highly. In this article, we intend to make a systematic review of main doctrine set in the Spanish Courts (specially focusing on Spain's Supreme Court) regarding the civil liability of lawyers. Although we mention many analytical aspects, the detailed study of the damages that the negligent lawyer can provoke stands out in the analysis. More precisely, we focus on the type of damage known as "loss of a chance".
