Lawsuits and regulatory actions aimed at professional services firms present unique challenges and pressures. Very few firms share the capabilities of our Professional Liability team – we take on complex, high-stakes lawsuits and regulatory matters for some of the biggest professional services firms in the world, and help bring them to a successful conclusion. While we are always alert to opportunities for amicable resolution, we have a strong track record of taking cases to trial and winning.
Over the past 40 years, we have advised and defended accounting firms and law firms in hundreds of matters, including cases alleging 9- and 10-figure damages claims. Our deep bench, from partners to paralegals, comes to each matter already equipped with a deep understanding of your profession grounded in experience, which enables us to provide top-quality service, sound judgment and legal advice, and a steady hand in constantly evolving situations.
These matters can often be multidimensional, involving parallel or successive litigation and regulatory investigations. A big-picture view, long-term strategy, and sophisticated legal project management and coordination are critical. Regulators increasingly share information across borders; our global team understands how regulators operate in key jurisdictions and boasts members who have worked for regulators and in-house at professional services firms – which helps us understand professional liability cases from your perspective.
We understand that reputation and brand integrity are crucial to you. We are well versed at handling matters that require discretion and sensitivity, when speed and decisiveness are critical. We also work effectively with your partners and employees, developing positive relationships with them as the matter proceeds, which facilitate a successful result.
We are particularly experienced advising accounting and consulting firms, law firms, actuaries, and financial services professionals. From the first meeting or call, we will gather a team for you who can offer local knowledge and a global perspective, wherever in the world you operate.
