I have seen the general sentiment of "their own lawyers would stop it" expressed many times about many different things, but who tells the lawyers?

Every place I have worked in the past there have been zero pathway for IT/Developers to notify a lawyer about anything or ask a question.

Really? At places I've been, you could definitely notify a lawyer of an issue, with the process ranging from walking up to their desk to looking up someone in the legal department and emailing them. I've never had cause to actually do it, but I certainly could have, had the situation warranted it.

Not everywhere has lawyers on staff or an easily searchable directory with accurate titles and department names.
