  To whatever extent that is true, there is a practical difference between the kinds of suits that any law firm can get dismissed, and the kinds that decent plaintiff's lawyer can credibly threaten will see trial. I think the reality is that credible lawsuit threats will virtually always settle, relatively quickly. That's what I've seen at smaller companies, and I assume it's even more the case where Ben Tilly works.
