Preventive Law

Your Ounce of Prevention

“Care is an absolute. Prevention is the ideal.”

Christopher Howson

At its core, Preventive Law is about helping businesses look around corners to anticipate legal risks before they materialize. It’s like a physical for your business during times of health designed to discover and treat areas of potential “disease”. Preventive Lawyers see things differently and offer proactive support and strategies for your business, legal department, and clients.

Preventive Lawyers have broad-based experience in the 5 Pillars of Preventive Law. This experience typically comes from diverse work histories, involving employment as in-house lawyers for both corporations and insurers, as well as years of practice with private firms. This eclectic experience gives Preventive Lawyers the unique ability to spot and analyze issues and then think several steps ahead to anticipate potential business and legal risks given a particular course of action.
