Should Niemann decide to go in that direction there will be any number of top tier plaintiff's defamation litigators willing to take Niemann's case on a contingency basis due to the very deep financial pockets of both Carlsen and chess dot com. As an attorney, I would not want to be stuck with the task of trying to defend them. Then again, with a sizable retainer up front and a good retainer replenishment clause, it could be a financial winner for defense counsel.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that defending Carlsen should be a walk in the park because he didn't actually accuse anyone of anything, ever.
This "time is running out" story that Gothamchess is also arguing for... I don't buy it. If anything is a bad idea for Carlsen it's accusing Niemann now. Best thing he can do is the same thing he has been doing: not saying anything at all. There is no reason he should.
