- Criminal DefenseLaw and litigation is roughly broken up into Criminal litigation, Civil Litigation and Transactional Work. Criminal litigation is pretty easy to understand, involving criminal defense. While prosecutors are involved in criminal litigation, they are traditionally excluded from the definition.
- Mergers and AcquisitionsTransactional work includes attorneys who negotiate contracts, work in patent filings, real estate deals, mergers & acquisitions, governmental filings, oversight work and areas like that. They traditionally do not go to court to argue, nor do they start law suits.
- Business Disputes
- Workers CompensationLegal malpractice can happen in contract cases, in the buying and selling of homes, in the buying and selling of businesses, in insurance, in workers compensation, and in discrimination cases. Legal malpractice can take place in matrimonial cases and in family law. It can, and does, happen everywhere.
- Employment DiscriminationCivil litigation encompasses a broad swath of attorneys who prepare and prosecute law suits in court over any tort, contract or special proceeding. We often think of personal injury, of worker's compensation, of business law suits, of employment discrimination and many other varieties of cases in which a law suit is necessary to protect rights of clients, on either the plaintiff or the defense side.
- Real Estate TransactionsAVVO, the lawyer website, has recognized New York legal malpractice lawyer Andrew Lavoott Bluestone as a superb lawyer since 2012. Legal Malpractice is the branch of litigation that addresses performance and representation of clients by attorneys. Because there are so many branches of law, and so many transactions and problems require the help of attorneys, legal malpractice is a wide-based area of law. Problems can arise in personal injury, in contracts, in business and commercial law, in patent law, in medical malpractice law, in real estate transactions and in corporate and partnership law. Legal malpractice can arise in any of these areas, and if a client is injured by mistakes of the attorney, legal malpractice litigation is sometimes the sole and last possible remedy.
- Personal InjuryLegal Malpractice is a description of a situation in which an attorney who has been hired to work for a client makes mistakes or fails to do that which the attorney should have done. Legal malpractice can occur in any setting in which an attorney has represented a client. Because attorneys represent clients in many different settings, legal malpractice cases can happen in personal injury, in car accidents, in construction accidents, in mass torts like asbestos, or mold invasion.
