    Professional Liability Defense

    When you give professional advice and that advice is challenged, the potential financial, professional and reputational impacts of such suits can be devastating. Phelps’ professional liability lawyers provide preventative counseling and advice to clients on professional ethics and best practices to avoid malpractice claims, and in the case of attorneys, strategies for avoiding bar complaints. Our defense team can tailor a strategy that protects our clients, through early resolution, alternative dispute resolution, litigation or appeal. Our attorneys regularly counsel and represent clients in the professional areas such as:

    • Insurance agents and brokers
    • Attorneys
    • Real estate and title agents
    • Accountants/CPAs
    • Architects, engineers and design professionals
    • Directors and officers

Also, our construction litigators, some of whom hold design degrees, have extensive experience representing design professionals and are frequently sought for counsel and advice by architects, engineers, contractors and subcontractors.
