McNees Wallace & Nurick attorney Edwin A.D. Schwartz is scheduled to be presenting best practices for attorneys to develop and use systems to lessen the risks of malpractice litigation at the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers' 2023 Joint Annual Conference.

The American Bar Association reports that four out of five attorneys will be sued for malpractice during their careers and 70% of claims are filed against firms with one to five attorneys.

Schwartz's panel, titled "Professional Liability Issues for Criminal Defense Attorneys," is set to highlight how close and consistent attention to rules of professional conduct can lessen the risks and note recent ethics issues.
