Professional Liability

At Zarwin Baum, our Professional Liability Practice Group prides itself on being a leading choice for insurers, individuals, and entities seeking to defend against such claims in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

 

Our experienced Professional Liability Practice Group has successfully represented professionals in a wide range of proceedings, including administrative, arbitrations, trials, and appeals. In significant exposure cases, we are often retained prior to litigation to preserve evidence, obtain a thorough understanding of the claim, and plan an aggressive strategy for when litigation ensues. We fully understand the importance of espousing robust and aggressive defense strategies while also maintaining sensitivity to the potential impact the litigation may have on the client’s standing and reputation in the business community. We work very closely with the professional to fully understand the underlying facts and circumstances that led to the claim and to develop a cost-effective strategy to defend and minimize the exposure of the claim. We understand the potential threat that the claim poses to the professional’s business and therefore strive to develop trust with the professional to place our team in the best position to defend the lawsuit. Unlike most defense firms, Zarwin Baum is a full-service law firm with numerous practice areas beyond insurance defense. As a result, when a professional liability matter involves a discrete area of the law, often there is an attorney “down the hall” who handles that practice area and will provide practical guidance and serve as an in-house consultant. Our wide array of practice areas gives our attorneys a significant competitive advantage over opposing counsel, which produces excellent results. At the outset, our experienced Professional Liability Practice Group provides our clients and insurers with an early and thorough analysis of the merits of the claim to make informed decisions about the potential exposure and to develop an effective litigation strategy. When appropriate and with the professional’s approval, we consider alternative dispute resolution to preserve the client’s business reputation and minimize the lengthy litigation process.
