This Case is Killing Me
Lawsuits can be stressful (and lawsuits against YOU can be even more stressful) - on clients, attorneys, carriers, and others. This panel will address the stresses of representing difficult clients and how to prevent those cases from evolving into a legal malpractice claim. When a legal malpractice claim does arise, there are mental health and stress concerns for all participants in the litigation process. The panel will discuss common pitfalls in representing challenging clients, tips on how to protect yourself and your law practice – including when and how to fire a problem client, as well as tips on how to assist clients and colleagues who may be suffering under the pressure and challenges of a difficult case, or in the face of a malpractice claim.
