Erin K. Higgins and Andrew R. Dennington recently co-authored "The Rule Against Claims Splitting as a Defense to Legal Malpractice Claims," published in the Winter 2012 newsletter of the American Bar Association’s Professionals’ Officers’ and Directors’ Liability Committee. The article discusses how defense counsel can assert a plaintiff's prior lawsuit as a bar to a subsequent malpractice claim. Ms. Higgins and Mr. Dennington regularly advise attorneys and other professionals regarding liability and ethics issues.
