Professional Liability Defense

Montgomery Barnett is an established leader in the defense of professional liability claims and, specifically, Directors and Officers Liability. Our attorneys have successfully defended lawyers, accountants, physicians, long term residential care facilities, brokers and other professionals in claims ranging from simple negligence allegations to complex malpractice issues such as scope of representation, errors and omissions, professional standards of care, conflict of interest, and challenges to competence. We are sensitive to the factors that may bear on a professional's reputation, and we discreetly address these concerns. We never advertise or promote our client relationships, which have included major law firms and their insurers from inside and outside Louisiana.

This part of our practice has successfully developed to include professional disciplinary matters, ethics consultation, and matters involving the termination of professional business associations.
