Georgia Legal Malpractice Law addresses both the fabric of Georgia legal malpractice law and the cases and issues confronting attorneys, including effective claim prevention and loss avoidance. Since the first edition of this book was released, the Georgia Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals of Georgia have heard a steady stream of important new cases refining and, in some cases, revising the duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations of Georgia attorneys. This book addresses those changes in three parts:

Part I: Legal Malpractice Law and Defenses
Part II: Legal Malpractice Prevention
Part III: Insurance and Loss Avoidance

The new edition includes coverage of these key topics:

• Analysis of legal issues such as using engagement letters to define the attorney-client relationship, potential conflicts arising from prospective client meetings, defenses to disqualification in the absence of a formal attorney-client relationship, and issues unique to the appearance of impropriety by prosecutors
• Recent case law discussing available defenses to a legal malpractice claim, including the judgmental immunity doctrine
• Discussion of the latest ethical and technology issues facing Georgia attorneys, including the ethics of remote work, the risks of attorney liability, and the possibility of bar grievances for criminal misconduct in an attorney’s personal life
