If the client wants to do things that way, I'd suggest revamping your contracts to plant defense and discovery costs firmly in their court. Though if you're contracting with legal, expect your pre-sales legal work to skyrocket, and contract negotiations to be a lot more difficult, and terms not as favorable. I don't expect lawyers to hold to generic contracts when they're one of the contracting parties.
See, this was my first thought when I fist saw the article/ got the request from our management. It does seem like a great way to make sure that we are firmly embroiled in any legal trouble that our clients should encounter down the line.
Anyway, thanks much for this - it was very helpful and a good place to start my own research into the matter.
