Professional Liability
Our Professional Liability Group regularly defends cases involving attorneys, insurance agents/brokers, long-term care facilities, physicians, title companies, architects, designers, builders, construction managers, directors and officers and other professionals. We appreciate the sensitive nature of these disputes. Confidentiality and our clients' reputations are foremost in our minds as we take an aggressive approach to the defense of these cases, pursuing early resolution through alternate dispute resolution, where appropriate, and through litigation, where necessary. We are thorough and creative in our approach in defending professional liability cases. Because we understand the importance of strong expert testimony in these cases, we secure qualified experts to establish our clients' adherence to the standard of care. Offensively, we work to ensure that the standards for admissibility of expert testimony are strictly enforced against the plaintiff. Our attorneys have been successful in preventing plaintiffs from proceeding without expert testimony in cases where such testimony is required, in excluding the testimony of unqualified experts and in preventing plaintiffs and their experts from second-guessing a client's good faith exercise of judgment. At Harman Claytor, we pride ourselves on a proactive and discreet approach to professional liability cases. A representative list of our clients is available upon request. For more information on our professional liability practice, please contact: Michael E. Harman, Esq., Lynne Jones Blain, Esq., Richard K. Bennett, Esq., Lisa H. Leiner, Esq. or Julie S. Palmer, Esq.
