The number of claims for damages in the area of attorney liability remains consistently high. A missed appeal deadline, misjudged chances of success, or overlooked evidence can quickly lead to a liability case. To ensure you act correctly in such situations, specialized knowledge is essential. Attorney liability law is a complex field shaped by jurisprudence, making it difficult to navigate. The updated new edition of the Handbook of Attorney Liability provides you with comprehensive knowledge for the proper handling of recourse cases. This standard work in the field offers well-founded answers to all relevant aspects of attorney liability—from prevention through appropriate precautionary measures to assertion and defense. Since the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) is the key decision-making authority in liability proceedings, the current jurisprudence of the IX Civil Senate, which is responsible for attorney recourse and liability from tax advice, is the focus of this presentation, prepared in a practice-relevant manner by insiders. The author team mainly consists of former long-standing members of the IX Senate. The structure of the handbook is also consistently oriented towards practical application. Step by step, the presentation guides you through the examination of a recourse claim. Additionally, you will receive numerous important pieces of information and further references: - The significance of liability law consequences, including new aspects of consolidated damage calculation, - Options for limiting liability, - A separate chapter on professional liability insurance, and - Numerous checklists to support liability assessment. In conclusion, the Handbook of Attorney Liability is an indispensable resource for attorneys, liability insurers, and judges—both for the prevention and the resolution of liability cases.
