Professional Liability

Shibley Righton LLP is at the forefront of professional liability law, defending architects, engineers, lawyers and accountants and, as one of client's once said, the lawyers at Shibley Righton LLP are "pound for pound the best defenders against professional liability claims in the country".

Our large professional liability practice group is characterized by a practical view of the realities–intense time pressures, often in complex subject matters and subject to a multitude of government regulations–within which professionals work today. We know that yes, sometimes professionals make mistakes and their clients sometimes have legitimate claims. But we also know that professionals often face groundless claims from clients who blame their professional advisors for their own failings, or the inevitable consequences of business or personal risks they have willingly taken. We work to resolve all claims in a fair and efficient manner–whether that involves fighting tooth and nail or working to minimize the damage.
