Seriously, WTF is that really supposed to mean?
If your company gets fucked, do you just take 100% of the loss because the lawyers would only be able to recover 85%?
If a defendant sues, do you just default because the lawyers might not be able to eliminate all of the damages? |

But if, by lawyer, you mean that champion of the peace, that lone voice standing athwart the riotous mass in the name of what is right and just, that harbinger of order, that vassal of humanity,
then sir, far from being ashamed, I am honored to be amongst his company, privileged to seek his counsel, and in awe at the works which he hath wrought in the name of our fair civilization. |

Date: April 16th, 2014 11:45 AM Author: comical bearded center tbf, lawyers laugh at the shitty, shallow ideas produced by business people in the context of legal issues ALL THE TIME as well. These assholes who view their major contribution as marking up a document by saying "Do we have to use the phrase [insert quoted standard of review/term of art for the legal issue in question]. We're more comfortable with [some vaguely analogous terms with weaker-sounding words]."
OH WHAT GREAT BUSINESS MINDS, "ADDING VALUE" AT EVERY TURN. |

Date: April 16th, 2014 12:50 PM Author: Purple Abode That's just a dumb business guy who has strayed outside of his area being a moron. But actually figuring out how to identify and address a market opportunity, build a product, make it profitable, let customers know about it--that's the fundamental work of capitalism. Lawyers, by contrast, while performing their core function of spotting risks and advising the business on how to avoid those risks, will far more often than not feel little obligation to actually learn how the business is attempting to operate. So the advice the lawyer provides will frequently be essentially useless or largely irrelevant and preoccupied with corner cases because it fails to incorporate the relevant business context.

Date: April 16th, 2014 1:19 PM Author: comical bearded center Don't disagree, but the number of instances in which the advice the lawyer provides is *perceived* to be "essentially useless or largely irrelevant" due to "failing to incorporate the relevant business context" is quite a bit greater than the number of instances when this is actually so. No person who has worked as a BIGLAW attorney for any significant period of time is without their handful of stories where the business folks at a client say "Our goal is [X], but we need you to also do [thing that makes doing X legally impossible]." Trying to explain these types of conflicts while the business folks either blankly stare at us, or give a patronizing response about us being "clever so you'll figure something out" is a massive driver of inefficiency.
Still, you are certainly right that learning how a business operates is crtically important and does get under-emphasized in BIGLAW at times.

Date: April 16th, 2014 1:45 PM Author: Insecure azn As someone who's ashamed to be a lawyer, this is also overstated. Just because the legal answers aren't what the business people want to hear does not make the legal answers irrelevant. Sometimes it makes business sense to take legal risks, but knowing the legal risk exists is important, not useless (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2544302&forum_id=2#25392822) |

the best was when I worked at a firm doing mid market PE as a paralegal, and the lawyers there were making mid-100s at best. the companies being purchased were literally run by criminals who had run the places into the ground, and were walking away with millions in some cases. Every lawyer looked like they wanted to die when deals closed. |
