Our attorneys also participate in monthly seminars aimed at educating various design professionals on methods to improve their firm’s risk management practices, focusing on issues such as contract terms, client selection and management, practice do’s and don’ts, professional ethics, business practices, and other key areas from which claims and disputes often arise.
