Seasoned, Not Immune: Managing Malpractice Risk for the Experienced Lawyer

You've built a practice. You've earned the trust of clients, colleagues, and referral sources over decades. So why do malpractice claims remain surprisingly high after more than twenty years in practice? Contrary to what many would expect, experience alone doesn't significantly reduce malpractice risk.

Please join PLF Director of Claims Matt Borrillo and PLF Practice Management Attorney Rita Alister on Thursday, September 24, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a candid look at how malpractice risk evolves over the course of a career. They'll explore how long-standing client relationships, outdated engagement terms, and systems and habits that no longer keep pace can create unexpected exposure.

They'll also address an important question every experienced attorney eventually faces: how do you prepare—on your own terms—for the eventual transition or wind-down of your practice?

You'll leave with practical strategies to protect the practice you've built, reduce risk in the years ahead, and better understand what effective planning looks like at this stage of your career.

1 Practical Skills MCLE credit is pending.

Registration deadline is at noon, Tuesday, September 22, 2026.
