Legal Malpractice & Professional Liability

For more than three decades, Sperling Kenny Nachwalter’s Legal Malpractice & Professional Liability lawyers have defended professionals facing sensitive claims of negligence and other types of wrongdoing, helping them preserve their good name, safeguard their livelihood, minimize their liability exposure, and protect their future.

Our team represents lawyers, law firms, and other professionals when faced with regulatory and liability risks and concerns, including defending professionals in state and federal courts across the U.S., before regulators, licensing boards, and state bars, and in disciplinary hearings and arbitrations.

Working closely and confidentially with our client, we develop a strategy tailored to the risk posed and the potential impact on the professional. Our lawyers act quickly, assessing the case and working toward a swift and favorable resolution.

We also represent clients in connection with a variety of motions involving attorneys, such as motions for sanctions, motions for disqualification, and contested motions to withdraw.

Our Approach

In evaluating cases, we review the evidence, assess the risks, advise on practices and protocols to limit liability exposure now and in the future, and aggressively defend our clients in and out of court. Attorneys and other professionals also regularly seek our advice on preventative and risk management strategies to ensure they comply with the rules governing their professions and their obligations to their clients or third parties.
