Carrington Coleman has long been recognized as a “lawyers’ law firm.” Carrington Coleman is well known for its superior representation of, and advice to, law firms and lawyers, as well as other professionals such as accountants, architects and engineers, physicians and hospitals, insurance professionals, and corporate officers and directors. For lawyers and law firms alone, Carrington Coleman has handled over 350 matters of all types for over 130 lawyers and law firms.

We have defended law firms – from the local to the international – against a multitude of claims, including malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, conflicts of interest, conspiracy, deceptive trade practices, breach of contract, conversion, and fraud, arising out of a wide range of substantive practice areas, including bankruptcy, estate planning, medical malpractice, civil litigation, business transactions, and settlement advice. We have represented our clients in Texas’ highest court, making new law on important malpractice issues, such as the Texas Supreme Court case in which it affirmed summary judgment on behalf of our law-firm client and held for the first time that public policy prohibited an individual who had pleaded guilty and who had not been exonerated of a crime from suing defense counsel for malpractice.

In addition, we are often engaged by law firms and lawyers as consultants to help them avoid litigation altogether, by advising them at the threshold of potential disputes with their clients on ways to deal with possible conflicts, possible client claims of negligence, and other issues. We also have represented numerous lawyers and law firms in non-malpractice contexts, including sanctions motions, disqualification proceedings, employment-related claims, fair debt collection claims, and business disputes.

Accounting professionals also have engaged us to represent them in claims involving failed financial institutions and claims brought by trustees, receivers, corporations, and individuals.

Our attorneys are recognized authorities in the fields of professional liability and malpractice and have written and spoken on these topics on numerous occasions.
