Legal Malpractice Insurance Claim

Summary

In cases involving professional liability insurance for legal malpractice, the settlement amount is often determined by the policy limits and the specifics of the case. In a small firm, lawyers might share a single policy or have individual ones. Settlements can range from €4 million to €7 million, depending on negotiations. Tax implications in Spain mean settlements are typically taxed, but moving to a country like Andorra could offer tax benefits. Establishing residency in Andorra involves renting property and proving financial stability. For effective negotiation, hire a skilled lawyer, gather comprehensive documentation, and understand policy limits. Consider tax planning to minimize liabilities.
