Lawyers who delegate tasks to associates, paralegals or other staff are well advised to make sure the tasks have been accomplished and that they have been completed properly. Both the supervising lawyer and the subordinate lawyer may have exposure for malpractice as a result of the mistakes and omissions of the subordinate lawyer.
