More than a decade ago, ProQuest initiated specialized risk and practice management consulting services through an independent network of expert loss prevention attorneys.
Our approach to risk management is unique because the services are facilitated by ProQuest—not by your insurer. For qualifying firms, ProQuest has the capability to work with your insurers to develop a dedicated risk management fund (at no expense to you) that will finance the services. Engagement letters are executed between the outside specialist and your firm for each contracted program/service, a process that shields the engagement under attorney-client privilege.
The services are offered in a menu-based format, allowing you to choose only those components appropriate to your loss control needs and integrate them into a customized series of interactive seminars, workshops, and audits.
