Defense litigators are increasingly turning to lawsuits against plaintiffs firms, alleging various forms of misconduct. Traditionally, sanctions have been the primary method to address bad attorney behavior, but this new approach marks a significant shift in legal strategy. In the past year alone, at least five companies facing claims such as asbestos-related injury and workers' compensation have sued the plaintiffs firms responsible for these lawsuits. Defense attorneys, including Ashley Fetyko from Tyson Mendes and John Hare from Marshall Denn Law, argue that some plaintiffs firms abuse attorney-client privilege and file sham lawsuits, while judicial reluctance to issue sanctions has prompted this new wave of litigation.
