I have a half-baked idea where if you want to spend over a certain, very low threshhold on lawyers, you have to also give the amount over the threshhold to your opponent. This way, there is no imbalance when a huge entity sues or otherwise entangles a small entity.
- alasdair_ 6y agoIt's not a bad idea but it would be hard to prove. For example, if a lawyer works on contingency, how much should be paid? Additionally, the firm will likely farm out more of the work on to paralegals, private investigators, forensic accountants etc. to get around the cap wherever possible.
