Lawyers for the Profession^®

Hinshaw's Lawyers for the Profession^® group is devoted to representing and advising lawyers and law firms on all aspects of the "law governing lawyers." We focus on four broad areas: legal malpractice defense; ethics and professional responsibility representation and counseling; law firm organization and structure; and risk management services. We have 11 states well-covered and try lawyers' cases nationally wherever needed. Our lawyers anticipate and preempt professional problems, but when disputes occur we offer sound solutions or, where necessary, effective advocacy.

RPC

When you face significant risk, or are presented with major opportunity, you need strong advisers to support you. Strong advisers who have a deep understanding of your company—your industry—and who can apply their legal expertise to the commercial context in which you operate. You also need people you can trust. And, when all else is equal, people you get along with. That's RPC. Led by the top ranked specialist Nick Bird, the team at RPC defends the leading global and international law firms on their bet-the-business claims and disciplinary matters often working with their colleagues at Hinshaw & Culbertson and other Global Access Lawyers members.
