Timothy Gondek Pens Legal Malpractice Article for New York Law Journal

New York, N.Y. (April 18, 2019) – Hartford Partner Timothy M. Gondek has written an article published in the New York Law Journal, titled “Common Sense Principles to Avoid Legal Malpractice Claims.” In the article, Mr. Gondek outline four key concepts all lawyers should heed to protect themselves from being exposed to claims from dissatisfied clients: communicating, calendaring, reviewing, and recording.

Mr. Gondek developed the idea for the article following a conversation he had with a younger attorney only a few years out of law school who had recently started his own practice and expressed concern over “being exposed to claims from dissatisfied clients.” However, as Mr. Gondek notes, “in no way are these suggestions meant only for those new to the bar. To the contrary, it’s rare that I represent attorney clients of a young age. I think it’s safe to say that applying rules of common sense to daily tasks is a good practice for all attorneys to have, regardless of age.”

Mr. Gondek is a member of Lewis Brisbois’ Professional Liability Practice. He has over ten years of litigation experience defending a variety of professionals, including attorneys and accountants, as well as insurance agents and brokers against E&O claims.
