When team member candidates have had a history of lawsuits
One of the things that have been coming when putting together a team is how to screen candidates. Sometimes candidates have histories of lawsuits. Is that enough to disqualify them? Or is just bad luck? For instance, let say you are looking for someone to do a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment and one of the candidates has great references but is a defendant in a lawsuit. Should you ignore the lawsuit in hiring them or reject them?
