Professionals and professional services organizations
and institutions will be sued for malpractice and will
be forced to defend professional liability actions. These are the unavoidable costs of doing business as
prominent liability targets in our highly litigious
society. Our attorneys defend these claims with
experience and specialized knowledge of
the law of malpractice and the nature of the
targeted profession. Defense of malpractice claims has
been central to our litigation practice. We are
experienced defense counsel, committed to the effective
and efficient preparation of our clients' cases. We have
an outstanding record of success on behalf of accountants, architects, attorneys,
healthcare providers (including hospitals, nursing
homes, physicians, nurses, and dentists), municipal
officials, police officers, and school
officials.
Our
lawyers are active in a wide variety of national, state
and local professional associations including:
Litigation Section of the American Bar Association; the
International Association of Insurance Counsel; American
College of Trial Lawyers; American Association for
Justice; Defense Research Institute, Inc.;
American Nurses Association; American Association of
Nurse Attorneys; American Society of Law, Medicine and
Ethics; American Health Lawyers Association; Missouri
Society of Health Care Attorneys; Missouri Society of
Certified Public Accountants; St. Louis Association of
Healthcare Risk Managers; as well as court and
administrative agency advisory committees. Members of
the Firm have held leadership positions in many of these
professional associations.
Our
attorneys are recognized throughout the health care
industry as leaders in their field and many have served
as educators in area health education programs. Three of
our attorneys (two of which hold advanced degrees in
Health Care) are registered nurses. As a result, we have
a practical knowledge of the field which enhances our
ability to relate to and provide for our clients' needs.
Two of our health care attorneys has been selected on an
annual basis by their peers for inclusion in The Best
Lawyers of America and several of our health care
attorneys have been recognized as Missouri Kansas Super
Lawyers. One of our attorneys
was one of the first attorneys in the St. Louis area to be certified as a health care
mediator by the American Health Lawyers Association. |
