Frilot LLC Partner, Peter Sperling, recently spoke at the Louisiana Society of Health System’s Pharmacist’s (LSHP) Annual Meeting on May 21-May 23, 2009. His presentation, “Current Trends in Pharmacy Litigation”, addressed emerging trends in pharmacy litigation where pharmacists are a party to the lawsuit as well as where pharmacists are impacted by the outcome of the lawsuit. Using recent cases and legislative change as a forum, Mr. Sperling explored critical legal issues, provided simple tools pharmacists may use to avoid litigation and helped them to be prepared should a claim ever arise.

 

Mr. Sperling is a founding member of Frilot L.L.C and leads the firm’s Medical Malpractice & Healthcare section. For over 20 years, he has represented physicians in virtually every specialty, hospitals, medical schools, nurses, long-term care facilities, dentists and other healthcare providers in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana.
