They are also not a protected class.

However for instance their alcohol licence requires them to admit members of the public and enumerates the reason they can bar entry. Being an employee in a firm that is representing someone that is suing us is obviously not on the list.

Than revoke the license based on that. A ruling that would make lawyers a protected class is froth with pitfalls.

I get in this case they are a big venue but I live in a small town and lets face it regardless of the lawyers just doing their jobs I can see someone not wanting to have a lawyer suing them as a patron.

We have seen in many cases lawyers exhibiting unethical legal behavior and how reluctant the bar is to sanction them

I don't think this is about them becoming a protected class. This is about retaliation being illegal, especially a blanket ban this wide. At least after they bought a ticket. I imagine the discussion would be different if they didn't sell a ticket in the first place.

The sale of a ticket is a contract and one should expect that the contract will not be broken without good reason.
