Retaliation and intimidation.

If it were protection .. to prevent a lawyer from witnessing something at a public venue that might be used as evidence agains them ... then there is no protection possible.

A sensible law firm would not use one of their employees with a public image available, they'd use a contracted private investigator to gather evidence.

This smacks of punitive behaviour to not only punish the law firm (for doing their job) in a petty manner, but to also intimidate any other law firm thinking of taking them on.

Eg: Hypothetically if Disney were to ban all members of any company that challenged Disney on ride safety .. how would that appear?
