The ABA Tax Section offers a teleconference and webcast today on The Top 10 Things That Get Tax Lawyers in Trouble for Malpractice from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST:

When the average tax practitioner thinks about a conflict, the conflict typically concerns the possible disqualification from a matter and perhaps even the need to disgorge fees or at least soothe the hurt feelings of an “abandoned” client. Those of a more sober mindset might also consider the possibility of a disciplinary proceeding. However, as the distinguished panelists will discuss, veteran legal malpractice defense lawyers know that a conflict – or an alleged conflict – can turn an otherwise defensible malpractice claim into a nightmare.
