Wouldn't such an expense be tax deductible since it is business related
just like business lunches, etc.?

About lawyers, it really interesting to see how "altruistic" they

can sue and get some money even if it is "partially" the clients fault.
I have seen more that a few of those here in local Silicon Valley channels.
