Surviving the Slide
It's not often that no fewer than three of my friends are simultaneously featured in the leading article of a journal, but that is the case with Gerry Riskin, Karen MacKay and Merrilyn Astin Tarlton in the current edition of LawPro, which is a Canadian journal that features "information and updates on the Lawyers' Professional Indemnity Company malpractice liability insurance program and policy; the risk management and claims prevention resources from practicePRO; and TitlePLUS and title insurance."
Gerry, Karen and Merrilyn together with Ed Flitton collaborated in a round table that resulted in an article titled:
Surviving the Slide: What firms should and shouldn't do to ride out the economic storm.
Hat tip to Dan Pinnington at Slaw for the heads-up.
Ah, risk management and professional indemnity insurance. A very interesting topic. In Autralia, there are now two schools of thought: one spearheaded by our company (BizCover). The former is that risk should be customised to each individual client. Our school is in situating professional indemnity insurance in the generic field: that most policies for SMEs should be similar to save customers time and money.
