Professional Liability

Singleton Reynolds has been providing legal services to professionals from the date of its inception in 1982. Members of the firm have been advising professionals for more than 40 years. The firm provides legal services to a number of professions, including architects and engi­neers, accountants, land surveyors, insurance professionals and finance professionals.

Singleton Reynolds recognizes that profes­sionals present a unique set of issues for problem solving. Our professional liability practice groups are tailor-made to meet those needs. The individuals of each practice group have extensive experience in ensuring that the professionals’ legal needs are addressed in an effective, expeditious and efficient manner.

Accountants

Singleton Reynolds has been providing legal representation to accountants and accounting firms, along with many other professions, since its inception.

We believe that, to be effective advocates for professionals, lawyers must understand the particular concerns professionals face when they are accused of an error, omission, or impropriety. Civil lawsuits affect professionals differently than companies or private citizens. As with disciplinary proceedings, complaints made through the courts involve issues of professional integrity and potentially serious financial consequences. Moreover, some options that are available to a company in similar circumstances are not available to a professional.

An effective advocate for a professional also should have an understanding of the technical subject matter of the claims, the profession’s ethical duties and standards and solid contacts within the profession.
