Klehr Harrison Announces Lawyers’ Professional Liability Practice Group

PHILADELPHIA (April 22, 2025) – Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP is proud to announce the formation of a lawyers’ professional liability practice group. The practice will be led by litigation partner and firm co-general counsel Teri Sherman.  The group will include Paige Willan, co-chair of the Litigation Department, as well as former firm general counsel Michael Coran and former managing partner William Harvey.  

“Klehr Harrison has a strong track record of representing lawyers and law firms when they need counsel most, whether because of a claim by a third party or because of internal risk or practice management,” said Sherman. “We are formalizing this practice group in recognition of the excellent work we have already been doing.”

“Our group takes a lot of pride in representing our lawyer and law firm clients,” added Willan. “Teri is the natural choice to lead our efforts in this practice area.  Her practical and thoughtful advice is exactly what professionals need when they turn to another lawyer for counsel.”

Sherman is a highly skilled commercial litigator who brings a practical, results-oriented and cost-effective approach to resolving sophisticated matters. Her practice focuses on commercial contract and business tort litigation, professional liability litigation and risk management counseling, commercial real estate disputes, corporate governance, IP/technology, and labor and employment disputes. In the areas of professional liability and risk management, Sherman defends lawyers, law firms and other professionals and businesses against allegations of malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud. Her experience enables her to provide clients with valuable risk management advice and consultation to prevent claims and mitigate exposure and risk. She is often retained before litigation to help assess and control exposure to potential claims. 

She received her J.D., cum laude, from Georgetown University Law Center and her B.S. from the University of Pittsburgh, summa cum laude.
