Lawyers Professional Liability
Clear legal guidance
FMG's Lawyers Professional Liability team has successfully represented some of the nation's major law firms and their insurers.
Our attorneys are experts in prompt evaluation of cases and developing a strategy for the optimum outcome, whether it be early evaluation or trying a matter to verdict. Our attorneys also regularly advise law firms on preventive policies to reduce the likelihood of future claims.
Lawsuits against lawyers are increasingly common in today’s litigious environment. Plaintiffs use the threat of jury prejudice, reputational damage, negative client impact and business disruption as tactics to dissuade valid defenses. FMG uses its reputation for trial expertise to ensure that the opposition knows you have the ability, if needed, to obtain the best trial outcome in order to protect your valuable interests in these critical matters.
Our firm’s LPL practice is built on the recommendations of our fellow attorneys who know the skill set we bring to defense of these claims and our record of success.
