Professional Liability Defense

Architects, engineers, code inspectors, stockbrokers, health care workers, and other licensed professionals are highly skilled in their fields — and face a high level of scrutiny. We have extensive experience defending these clients from frivolous lawsuits that threaten their businesses.

Representing a wide range of professions. Though their day-to-day work greatly varies, licensed professionals across industries all share the experience of being subject to rigorous rules and laws, and facing significant liability risks in their work. For over 25 years, our team has represented:

  • Architects & Engineers
  • Licensed Surveyors
  • Landscape Architects
  • Code Inspectors
  • Construction Fund Managers
  • Health Care Professionals (doctors, nurses, hospitals, long-term care providers)
  • Mental Health Professionals (LPC, LPSW, LMFT, and others)
  • Accountants
  • Insurance Brokers/Agents
  • Real Estate Brokers/Agents
  • Stockbrokers/Financial Advisors
  • Officers and Directors

Experience with all types of claims. Licensed professionals face claims ranging from malpractice and negligence to errors and omissions, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, professional license or disciplinary proceedings, and more. As plaintiffs’ lawyers have gotten more creative and aggressive, our firm’s attorneys have responded with appropriate — and vigorous — defense strategies.

Advocacy throughout the life of the case. We represent professionals at all stages of litigation, from pre-suit analysis and resolution through trial and appeal. Our depth of knowledge of the relevant rules and laws enables us to carefully analyze the underlying facts, craft effective strategies, and favorably resolve disputes, whether through settlement or trial. Our team places a special focus on working early and aggressively for dismissals in these matters, and our successful track record shows our opponents that, when it comes to representing our clients, we do not back down from a fight.
