Professional Liability
SmithAmundsen represents professionals and their insurers. We act as defense, coverage, and monitoring counsel on a regional and national basis. SmithAmundsen attorneys offer the experience and expertise necessary to tailor legal solutions. Upon assignment, we examine each case to provide our clients with expedient case analysis, a thorough litigation plan, and identification of a resolution path, whether this means early settlement or extensive discovery and eventual trial.
Our attorneys are well-attuned to client expectations, the demands of running a professional practice, and the day-to-day issues that today’s professionals encounter. We are skilled at analyzing the impact that particular types of litigation may have on a client’s business and reputation. The experience of our Professional Liability attorneys provides valuable insight into the practical issues professionals confront. Our attorneys are adept at defending and overseeing the defense of the multitude of errors and omissions, negligence, and misrepresentation claims faced by today’s professionals.
