Professional Liability

Are your law office and practice management systems protecting you from liability claims?

Firms can reduce their risk with ALPS Practice and Risk Assessment Services, which combine years of malpractice claims knowledge with a practical understanding of how firms operate in order to recommend sensible, cost-effective solutions.  High risk areas of your practice and business processes are addressed by ALPS Risk Managers’ objective, practical strategies.

Your organization’s operations are reviewed in an on-site objective visit by our experts to identify where you might be at risk.  Reviewing your practice from an independent perspective allows ALPS to apply a wealth of problem solving and analytical experience to your situation. The visit can best be described as an interactive educational session focused on risk management techniques.

The visit will focus on the “nuts and bolts" of day-to-day operations while addressing long-term planning and management of your practice.

An organization can generally expect to address the following process areas:

  • Identifying loss exposures
  • Receiving suggestions as to how to more appropriately handle exposures
  • Discussing the prioritization of recommendations and time frames for implementation

Functional areas generally focused on during risk management visits include:

  • Conflict systems
  • File documentation
  • Calendar management
  • Accounting procedures
  • Client relationship management (CRM)
  • Email practices and computer systems security
