Devine Millimet's professional liability lawyers represent accountants and real estate professionals on errors and omissions, administrative charges, and other claims. Defense of these professionals presents special challenges. It involves determining the appropriate “standard of care”, reconstructing complicated transactions, and making the client’s multi-faceted professional judgments understandable to a lay jury or licencing board. The defense lawyer has to manage unwieldly numbers of documents and present the case clearly, using expert witnesses and demonstrative exhibits.
The client is often a highly skilled specialist and can be the best resource in preparing a defense. Our lawyers treat the client with respect and sensitivity, without losing the objectivity needed to achieve the best result. Our lawyers providing these services have decades of experience, which prepares them for this task.
Our professional liability defense lawyers also benefit from the fact that they are able to draw on the skills and expertise of fellow Devine Millimet lawyers who practice law in related disciplines, such as real estate, bankruptcy, taxation, corporate and business law.
