    The Claims-Free Architect Season 5: How to Master the Dark Side of Practice Before a Single Lawsuit Wipes Out Your Reputation & Business

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever faced a claim that turned your architectural vision into a legal nightmare? Do the hidden risks of your practice haunt you, knowing that a single misstep can jeopardize your reputation and livelihood? What if you could master these risks? Welcome to Season 5 of The Claims-Free Architect, brought to you by Pro-Demnity Insurance, safeguarding architects for four decades. This podcast will empower you to stay claims-free. Drawn from the Pro-Demnity claims files of retired VP, Claims, David Croft, our 22 weekly episodes include new claim stories as well as eight updated “classic” stories that will keep you on the edge of your ergonomically designed seat. You’ll meet ambulance-chasing lawyers, corrupt government officials, penny-pinching developers, abusive contractors, interfering clients, experts who lack expertise, under-insured and unreliable consultants and a rogues’ gallery of other undesirable individuals. You’ll also meet fellow architects—some well-meaning, some working out of their depth, and two who unfortunately don’t survive the lawsuit brought against them. With any luck, you’ll never face any of these circumstances in your own practice, but if you do, you’ll be prepared to deal with them—and avoid the financial, reputational, business and personal losses that may accompany them. Architects, interns, and practice owners: subscribe to The Claims-Free Architect wherever you get your podcasts and build a claims-free future!
