Understanding Legal Malpractice Suits

Lawyers have been sued, not only in the Arab, but in the entire world. That not only in the west, nor the Arab world, have there been an increase in comprehensive legal malpractice suits, the rise has also occurred in Africa, the east, and other regions of the planet. Let’s look at what legal malpractice is, why it has become commonplace, and how the Arab world fits into the equation.

1.) What is legal malpractice?

A legal malpractice suit is any civil action taken against an attorney, in which the respondent (the attorney) is accused of having represented a client improperly, or having helped to bring about a legal result that was unsatisfactory to the claimant. Quite simply, the claimant is someone who seeks to gain compensation for any damages brought about by a legal malpractice issue.

We’ve all seen the headlines: “Judge under investigation for legal malpractice,” “Attorney sentenced for legal malpractice,” “Lawyer pays millions in legal malpractice settlement”: they’re almost ubiquitous these days, like finding an oasis in the Arabian desert. It’s clear that the demand for legal professionals, especially in the Arab world, has continued to rise. The legal industry – for both lawyers and legal support professionals – is far from stagnant. But it’s also true that the demand for attorneys is leading to more and more incidents of legal malpractice. Clients seeking justice are suing those who failed to deliver. In the worst cases, legal malpractice leads to criminal charges. Other times, legal malpractice is handled through a civil lawsuit.
