Top Topic: What To Do When You’ve Made a

Complaints, and Professional Liability Insurance
Place: Café at 160 Gould St., Needham, MA
OVERVIEW: We
all want each one of our clients to be thrilled with our representation of
them. Unfortunately, sometimes attorneys make mistakes -- and
sometimes clients are unsatisfied with even the best possible outcome.
Joe Berman, General Counsel to the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers, and
Nina Kallen, a solo practitioner specializing in insurance coverage litigation,
will discuss what lawyers should do when faced with a malpractice action or BBO
complaint. How can you safeguard and make the most of coverage under your
professional liability policy? What can you expect from a BBO proceeding?
What is the interplay among fee disputes, malpractice actions, and BBO
claims?
