Professional Liability
In recent years, regulators, investors, and the general public have been closely scrutinizing the role of professional service firms. Professional liability lawsuits are becoming increasingly common, and state and federal authorities are increasingly taking disciplinary action against professional service firms and licensed professionals.
As a result, it is paramount for accountants, attorneys, brokers and other licensed professionals to ensure not only that they remain in compliance with the ever-evolving rules and regulations governing their practices, but that they remain prepared to defend themselves as well. When professional liability claims arise, a proactive response is imperative, and professionals and firms alike must ensure that they are ready to defend themselves by all means available.
