Law Firms
We have handled individual, multiparty, and class-action legal malpractice actions arising from corporate, tax advice, and litigation matters. In addition to traditional negligence claims, these actions have also included alleged securities violations, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and consumer fraud.
Despite efforts by the courts to sharply reduce securities aiding and abetting liability claims against professionals, recently there has been an upsurge in lawsuits naming law firms as primary wrongdoers through participant, co-schemer, and similar forms of securities liability. We also represent lawyers in licensure proceedings.
