Consultant and Professional Liability

Consultant and Professional Liability

Learn how professional liability actually plays out — not through theory, but through one continuous case study you follow start to finish. A structural consultancy faces a $2.6M claim after a slab failure tied to a load change that never reached the right desk. Across three lessons, you work the dispute as it unfolds: testing the duty owed against the standard met, mapping breach and causation across three responsible parties, and rebuilding the practice that prevents it from happening again.

What you'll learn:

• How to read a duty-of-care clause and know exactly what standard you're actually held to
• How to separate a defensible decision from one that only looks bad in hindsight
• How to apportion blame using a structured liability ledger — breach, cause, share
• Who can actually bring a claim against you, and where that boundary of reliance ends
• How collateral warranties extend (or limit) your exposure on purpose
• A practical gate to stop scope and load changes from becoming disputes

How it works: Everything is grounded in a single evolving case study — no abstract examples, no generic checklists. You test tools against real facts, make timed decisions at each turning point, and see the consequences carry into the next lesson, just as they would on a live file.

Three lessons. About ten minutes each. By the end, you won't just understand professional liability — you'll have settled a case.
