Our accounting malpractice defense team works closely with New York State accountants to protect their professional standing.
Our attorneys have a deep understanding of the nuances of the accounting profession and work with attorneys to best prepare them to avoid conflicts that could lead to a claim of professional malpractice.
However, if such a conflict does arise, our team is prepared to fight vigorously to defend such charges and protect and preserve our client’s professional standing and licensing with the New York State Department of Education or other professional licensing entities.
