Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorney,
Allison D. Rhodes, will be a featured moderator at the 2012
LMRM Conference. The Conference will take place February 29 – March 2, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois, at The Westin Chicago River North. Ms. Rhodes will be moderating the topic, “How Limited Is Your Liability?" from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 2, 2012.
The switch to limited liability entities, such as LLPs, LLCs and PCs, can give attorneys a false sense of security about vicarious liability for malpractice by others at their law firm in which they were not involved. Moreover, limited liability protection may not be available for some firms, especially those that expand across state lines by growth or merger. This can result in structures comprised of multiple entities in an effort to comply with inconsistent regulatory requirements across jurisdictional lines. The panelists will discuss these issues in the context of an era in which lawyers frequently change law firms, firms expand across the country and even long-established firms may face bankruptcy or be dissolved.
This panel is part of the Risk Management Series of Topics of the LMRM Conference.
