A quick definition of countersuit:

A countersuit is when someone who is being sued by another person decides to sue them back. This is called a counterclaim. It's like saying, "You're suing me, but I also have a problem with you and I want to sue you too." Sometimes, a counterclaim is required by the court if it's related to the original claim, but other times it's optional. The goal is to resolve all the problems between the two people in one lawsuit instead of having to go to court multiple times.

A more thorough explanation:

A countersuit is a legal claim made by a defendant against the plaintiff in response to the original claim made by the plaintiff. It is also known as a counterclaim.

For example, if a person sues their neighbor for property damage, the neighbor may file a countersuit claiming that the person's tree branches damaged their roof.

There are two types of counterclaims: compulsory and permissive. A compulsory counterclaim must be asserted in the original action and relates to the opposing party's claim. A permissive counterclaim does not have to be asserted in the original action and may involve third parties over which the court does not have jurisdiction.

Overall, a countersuit allows both parties to present their claims and defenses in one lawsuit, which can save time and resources.
