PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY
Professionals today are expected to meet increasingly exacting standards of performance, often while operating under intense scrutiny within an increasingly litigious environment. There has been a notable upsurge of litigation against contractors engineers, healthcare and other professionals. Amidst these developments, professionals are required to make more independent decisions and exercise a greater degree of judgment than ever before, further exacerbating liability concerns. In addition, courts and regulators have become increasingly willing to impose expanded duties, with attendant liabilities, on business professionals.
