A well-organized <br />calendaring system designed for multiple independent inputs, whether kept in time management <br />software, Outlook or an organized paper system, goes a long way to avoiding this risk. <br /> Client Intake Procedures – Maybe the best opportunity to avoid multiple risks. Ensure that <br />there are procedures in place to evaluate such issues as conflicts of interest, client expectations <br />(can they be reached?), or if the client has had a history of problems with other attorneys. <br /> Too Much Stress – A cause of increased errors. Learn to recognize the signs of stress, <br />substance abuse and other emotional troubles. Firms should have documented procedures in <br />place to recognize and address lawyers who need help before a problem arises. <br /> Fee Suits – A frequent and growing cause of malpractice counterclaims. Given the challenging <br />economic conditions, it becomes even more critical to have a process in place to evaluate <br />whether and when a suit for fees should be filed. <br /> <br />As you review your policy, should you have any questions please call your agent or Attorney <br />Protective at (877) 728-8776. <br /> <br />Best Regards, <br /> <br />Your AttPro Team
