Avoiding and Defending Legal Malpractice Actions (2005)

Most attorneys carry malpractice insurance, but this fact, unfortunately, does not always insulate them from suits brought against them by clients and non-clients alike.  As a result, many attorneys—both solo practitioners and members of larger firms—are called upon to manage legal malpractice litigation.

*            Manage law firm risk management?

*            Identify the main issues involved in a legal malpractice suit?

*            Defend against legal malpractice claims?

*            Anticipate responses from professional liability insurance companies?
