Attorneys

MMP&S represents attorneys in malpractice, malicious prosecution, fraud and attorney deceit actions arising out of a wide range of underlying matters including corporate transactions, securities litigation, accounting, employment, intellectual property infringement, bankruptcies, matrimonial and family law, criminal defense, real estate transactions, foreclosures, personal injury actions and contract negotiations.

The MMP&S attorney liability team leverages the experience of attorneys across the firm who practice in many of the same areas as our attorney clients to develop a thorough understanding of the underlying claims and explore all available defenses.  We are sensitive to the financial, reputational and often emotional upheaval attendant to legal malpractice and related claims, and we work with our attorney clients to resolve these matters as discreetly and expeditiously as possible. 

In addition, MMP&S counsels our attorney clients on risk management by revising retainer agreements, avoiding conflicts of interest and developing best practices to comply with attorneys’ ethical obligations, all with the goal of avoiding complaints, disciplinary proceeds and litigation.
