I would not reccomend it. It is not illegal per se, just not too smart. You could call and ask his lawyer to set up a meeting or you could ask your lawyer to call his lawyer but I would not reccomend, especially when both sides are represented by attorneys, contacting the opposing party. You are simply asking for trouble.
