Nobody here evening mentioning how the proliferation of in house attorneys at large companies essentially functions to limit risk and, ultimately, the bottom line. For example, attorneys at pharmaceutical companies are essentially a “revenue mitigation” department. Of course, most of this is a result of the ambulance chasers on the outside forcing any company into a defensive and very expensive posture. I view most attorneys as wrenches in the spokes of progress and freedom.
More like parasites draining the life out of their hosts.
