Representing Industry Professionals
Baty Otto Scheer’s lawyers work daily with professionals across multiple industries whose occupations require a license in order to perform the work they do. Maintaining a professional license is paramount to, for instance, an architect or real estate agent’s livelihood. A professional liability claim puts the license in jeopardy, not to mention the financial impact that such a claim might also have. We work with these professionals to manage the risks in their work preemptively and in the event a lawsuit is filed.
Those We Defend
Baty Otto Scheer’s professional liability lawyers represent accountants, insurance brokers, real estate agents, doctors, nurses and other medical-care providers, architects, and engineers, among others. We generally defend these professionals against claims of malpractice; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; or errors and omissions, including claims of negligence, misrepresentation, errors in design, and more.
For legal counsel in a professional liability matter, call Baty Otto Scheer.
