That's what lawyers do when they consciously look out for their own.

Its a violation of a Model Rule of Professional Conduct
"There are two main contexts in which a lawyer can be caught up in an in-concert liability claim based upon legal services provided to a client. The first is the claim that the lawyer aided the client in committing a tort (usually fraud) on the third party. The second is the claim that the lawyer aided the client, or even caused the client, to breach a fiduciary duty to the third party. The former context is the circumstance in which courts, relying on the Restatement (Second) of Torts, have typically envisioned application of in-concert liability for lawyers. The second context is where most lawyers are actually sued for in-concert liability – and it is usually the more difficult circumstance for lawyers to foresee and avoid."
