Anatomy of a Legal Malpractice Action (2009)

Unfortunately, lawsuits against lawyers are on the rise, and it is now an integral part of a law firm’s business practice to evaluate its legal risk and malpractice insurance needs. This program is designed to educate attorneys about their legal malpractice exposures, and what they should do in the event that a lawsuit is filed against them, or situations arise that indicate a legal malpractice claim is likely. Both solo practitioners and members of larger firms would benefit from knowing how to assess professional liability risk and manage legal malpractice litigation.
