Defense Lawyers Come Out Swinging…And I Don’t Mean From Branches
In an article published in law.com, an attorney describes various “hard ball” tactics that may be used by defense attorneys in responding to a plaintiff’s discrimination lawsuit. These tactics include:
- Suing the employee for various reasons (e.g., theft of company property);
- Letting the plaintiff know that if the company wins, it may be able to recover attorney fees;
- Checking applications for any falsehoods; and
- Examining the plaintiff’s computer for any workplace policy violations.
