This complimentary article is based on on Dr. Grosso’s forensic experience in legal malpractice and Board actions. After reading this article, clinicians will appreciate how weaknesses in their practice structure can create vulnerabilities. The latter can challenge the clinicians and lead to malpractice or administrative Board actions. These can lead to loss of license or loss of malpractice insurance.
