Thanks at least partly to a stable economy, U.S. companies faced fewer lawsuits in the past year and filed slightly fewer themselves, a recent survey shows.
In fact, 17 percent of domestic companies said they sailed through the past 12 months with no new lawsuits filed against them, up from 11 percent in 2005-06, according to the latest “Litigation Trends Survey” from the law firm Fulbright & Jaworski.
