Lawyers’ Professional Liability Committee
Learning Objectives

Program Description:
Claims by non-clients represent a growing area of potential liability for attorneys. There are a number of reasons why a non-client might file a claim against an attorney. Some claims result from a party seeking revenge against their opposing party’s lawyer for an unfavorable outcome in a case. Other claims are filed because lawyers are perceived as “easy targets.” It is widely—but perhaps wrongly—believed that jurors tend not to like lawyers. Additionally, lawyers are often perceived to be risk averse and to possess “deep pockets,” either because they have insurance coverage or because they are believed to be wealthy. Learn how to avoid claims by non-clients at this informative breakfast program.
