Professional Liability
Since the founding of the firm, attorneys at Montgomery & Andrews have been investigating, negotiating, counseling and defending claims asserted against professional organizations and individuals.
The Professional Liability Defense Team at Montgomery & Andrews has broad experience in the defense of architects, engineers, health care providers, insurance agents and brokers, and attorneys. With experience over a broad spectrum of professional liability defense, attorneys in the group are well qualified to handle sensitive issues of confidentiality, understand the potential impact of the case on the professional’s ongoing practice, and recognize the need to work closely with the client in litigation strategy and dispute resolution.
Montgomery & Andrews represents professionals under insurers’ errors and omissions policies and also directly when the professional is self-insured. A result-oriented, cost-effective approach to the defense of malpractice claims is emphasized. At the outset of representation, the assigned attorney works with the client to develop a strategy and a budget for the case. The Montgomery & Andrews attorney then works aggressively and closely with the client toward a successful disposition of the matter.
