Featuring insight from a plaintiff and a defense attorney on cases and common situations that could potentially lead to infractions, our team of expert practitioners will show you how to "read the signs" to avoid having to deal with costly and time-consuming legal malpractice claims. Plus, at each site, an industry recognized specialist will offer background on the current issues, claims and trends facing lawyers in 2014. Don't jeopardize your career by failing to prepare for this "worst case scenario" - make plans to attend today!
