Foley Mansfield provides legal services in the areas of D&O, A&E, professional liability matters (and associated employment-related litigation) and E&O claims.
We regularly defend professionals including accountants, architects, attorneys, engineers, insurance agents, financial advisors, registered representatives and broker/dealers — either directly or through appointment as defense counsel by insurance carriers. Our attorneys are well attuned to industry practices and have particular strength in professional liability disputes.
We have successfully defended a variety of professionals with claims ranging from simple negligence to complex malpractice, with due consideration given for sensitive confidentiality issues and the impact on a professional's career.
We also conduct coverage assessments to help ensure that an insurance policy provides adequate levels of protection, and we offer the appropriate negotiation, mediation or litigation strategies necessary to resolve issues related to insurance coverage and liability.
In addition to experienced litigators, our legal team includes transactional lawyers with backgrounds that include accounting and securities. This presents an unmatched value proposition in these complex financial matters for insurers and the insured.
