Peter J. Larkin (Partner-White Plains, NY) and Scott Wenzel (Of Counsel-White Plains, NY) will present the Wilson Elser Forum webinar “Emerging Trends and Landmark Decisions in Accountants’ Liability” on September 16, 2026. This webinar explores key trends and emerging risks shaping accountant malpractice litigation, including evolving regulatory and ethics standards, the continued but contested expansion of third-party liability for accountants, and increased exposure arising from tax advisory and complex transactional work. The program also examines the increasing use of “failure to warn” theories beyond traditional calculation errors, as courts refine the boundaries of accountants’ professional duties, reliance, and scope of engagement. Participants receive an update on significant recent court decisions that are redefining liability standards, causation, fiduciary duties, litigation privilege, and ethical obligations, along with practical guidance for identifying and mitigating malpractice risk in today's evolving legal landscape. Designed for insurance claims attorneys and underwriters, this session provides insight into emerging claims trends and the impact of recent court decisions on the defense of those claims.
