Accountants Professional Liability

Accountants Professional Liability is a technical and evolving field.  The services provided by accounting professionals are varied and can involve individual and corporate clients. The recent economic downturn has seen an increase in claims against accounting professionals and greater scrutiny of accounting practices.  Claims against accounting professionals can be based upon financial reporting, audits, tax preparation or consulting, and can include allegations of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, the failure to detect fraud and conspiracy.

 

We are experienced litigators in state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels.  Because each claim is different, we work closely with our clients in formulating and evaluating the risks and prospective outcomes of litigation early in the case to ensure their goals and objectives are met.  As a firm devoted to defending professionals, we understand the importance of preserving the accounting professional’s reputation and focus on developing defense strategies with our clients and their professional liability insurers that allow for the earliest possible resolution of claims.  We pride ourselves on our knowledge of the laws and regulations that affect accounting professionals and we welcome the opportunity and challenge of protecting our client’s professional interests.
