Legal malpractice claims can arise out of circumstances where assumptions have been made that proved false. For example, you might assume that though you’re over-committed today, next month you’ll have time to catch up on the work you’re falling behind on. Or you might assume that your support team is managing and capable, because no one is complaining about workload or coming to you with concerns. In both cases, if your assumptions are incorrect, the circumstances are ripe for a claim to arise. In his blog post on Attorney at Work, Managing Risk: What if your assumptions are wrong? Mark Bassingthwaite addresses situations like these that commonly arise in a legal practice and provides practical tips on how to minimize the risk inherent when you make assumptions.
