Expanding into a new service area can create opportunities for law or accounting firms. But taking on unfamiliar work without the right experience can lead to mistakes, missed details and increased professional liability risk.
Before accepting work outside your firm's usual experience, consider:
▪️Does your team have the knowledge and experience to handle it properly?
▪️Is additional training, resources or procedures needed?
▪️Does your professional liability coverage address the services your firm plans to cover?
Growth creates opportunity, but taking on work without the right experience or knowledge can expose your firm to risks you may not anticipate.
