Professional Liability
Professional Liability
Given our litigious society and rigorous regulatory scrutiny from licensing boards (whose mission is to protect the health, safety, and well-being of the public), professionals must be vigilant in protecting their reputations, assets and their ability to continue providing the best possible service to their patients/clients. Architects, Engineers, legal professionals, health care providers as well as other professionals with extensive formal training need to be cognizant of licensure and regulation, a code of conduct imposing standards beyond those accepted in the marketplace, and a system of discipline for violation of those standards are particularly vulnerable.
