Malpractice Avoidance
It is often said that Professional Malpractice by an attorney does not necessarily mean unethical conduct. Attorneys can and do make mistakes that do not rise to the level of professional misconduct. However, having proper practices and systems in place to protect clients can assist attorneys in avoiding both the disciplinary system and a civil malpractice claim. LSBA Professional Programs Counsel, LSBA Law Practice Management Counsel, and Gilsbar Loss Prevention Counsel are always available to consult on issues regarding malpractice prevention.
