The Mid-Career Check-In: Mitigating Malpractice Risks As Your Practice Evolves

As your career evolves, so do the demands on your time, judgment, and attention. Mid-career lawyers often find themselves handling more complex matters, larger caseloads, and greater responsibility. This progression is frequently combined with less oversight and fewer safety nets. Presented by the Professional Liability Fund, this live webinar brings together Matthew Kalmanson, a practicing mid-career attorney in Oregon, Matthew Borrillo, Director of Claims at the PLF, and Rachel Edwards, a PLF practice management attorney, to explore how everyday practice pressures can quietly evolve into malpractice risk and what you can do to stay ahead of it.

Grounded in real claims data and practical experience, you’ll gain insight into the most common risk patterns affecting mid-career lawyers, including workload creep, increasing complexity, client communication challenges, improper supervision and delegation, and the impact of personal and professional disruptions. You will leave with concrete strategies, systems, and decision-making tools you can put into practice immediately.

Whether your practice is growing, shifting, or simply becoming more demanding, this program offers an opportunity to step back, assess your approach, and strengthen how you manage risk in your day-to-day work. 

This webinar has been approved for 1.5 Practical Skills MCLE credits.
