PI Malpractice Consults
We help trial lawyers satisfy ethical duties to plaintiff clients on issues of tax, finance, and government benefits.
When done correctly, you can exclude specialized subjects from your scope of representation. And you can protect your firm and clients by getting them to the right advisors.

Firms insured by Swiss Re receive several free malpractice consulting sessions. For legal advice we can also connect you with national ethics experts.
