Professional Liability


Professional Liability

For over thirty years Allen & Gooch has been at the forefront of professional liability practice in Louisiana, involved in a series of precedent-setting decisions issued by the Louisiana Supreme Court, the Louisiana Appellate Courts, the various Federal District Courts and the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.  Allen & Gooch attorneys provide representation in litigated matters and before disciplinary boards.

Leaders in Professional Liability

Not surprisingly, our professional liability attorneys have testified on professional matters before the Louisiana Legislature and are frequent speakers at seminars in Louisiana and elsewhere. At the same time, our professional liability attorneys work hard to stay abreast of the most recent theories of liability and the latest defenses developed by attorneys around the country. They are constantly honing their trial skills.

When Reputations Are at Stake

For these reasons, Louisiana professionals and their insurers routinely turn to Allen & Gooch. They can depend on our professional liability team for counsel on avoiding possible ethical infractions, for an aggressive defense against claims of malpractice and before disciplinary boards.
