Primer on Legal Opinions

This Article will discuss a few significant topics that have been the subject of recent discussion at the WGLO Seminars and among legal opinion practitioners, including recent litigation and claims against law firms relating to legal opinions. As an initial matter, it should be noted that many of the recent claims against laws firm based upon legal opinions are related to facts assumed or stated, to negative assurances, and to the wording of the opinions as to qualifications and limitations, rather than to alleged mistakes of law in the opinions that are actually expressed.
