I like that idea. Losing lawyers should pay the fees for the winning lawyers. Maybe then hopeless, frivolous cases would never go to trial in the first case. (Waiting to be shredded by the FR legal experts on this one....)
The common objection is that it would discourage legitimate lawsuits from relatively poor private citizens against corporations who have committed an actual civil tort. There's the risk that even with a valid complaint, the corp's army of endless laywers with far more resources than any citizen would outmaneuver the plaintiff, and then the corp could bankrupt the him or her with legal fees.
