RDB’s extensive experience in the realm of professional liability ensures our lawyer and law firm clients receive unparalleled representation. Law firms and individual attorneys nationwide have tapped RDB to defend against a broad array of claims stemming from the provision of legal services:

• We are often retained both by insurers under duty-to-defend policies and directly by law firms to defend claims against lawyers and law firms.
• We defend lawyers and firms in securities litigation, bank failure litigation, and other complex and high-exposure malpractice litigation.
• We represent lawyers in connection with civil, administrative, and criminal proceedings.

At RDB, we are committed to providing effective and efficient counsel, with the interests of our law firm and lawyer clients always foremost in mind. In some cases, that means mounting an aggressive defense and litigating the case to a conclusion. Other times, our clients’ interests are best served by pursuing a prompt and confidential settlement on reasonable terms.

We pride ourselves on evaluating each case on its merits at the outset, before substantial defense costs are incurred in discovery, and advising our clients well regarding liability, causation, and damages issues early in the case and on an ongoing basis as the case develops and additional information becomes available. We are open to recommending a favorable settlement when that is in our clients’ best interest, but we are also willing, ready, and able to take a case to verdict when a reasonable settlement is not available or when our client prefers a determination on the merits.
