Haha, 'reversal' - that's a good one! Sounds more like something you'd see in a courtroom drama than a real legal term.

A counterclaim seems like the logical choice here. Company B is responding to the original lawsuit with its own claim against Company A.

Actually, it would be a counterclaim, not a cross-claim.

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is a collateral attack. That usually refers to challenging a previous judgment, not a claim within the same case.

I think the answer is D. Cross-claim. It makes the most sense since Company B is bringing a claim against Company A in the same proceeding.

I agree with Olen. Company B's claim against Company A would be called a Cross-claim because it is a claim made by a defendant against a plaintiff in the same lawsuit.
