> Lawyers are lead by Senior lawyers

You could argue that Lawyers are lead by their clients in the same way that Engineers are led by their end users / PMs.

The difference is that in the Doctor & Lawyer examples your end-user is very obvious because it is the person in-front of you. With Engineering you are not usually in constant contact with your end users, hence the PM role.

It’s not quite so obvious in medicine. The patient often isn’t the one paying the bill, so the insurance company or government is the actual customer. In that regards, it’s more like a B2B transaction.

You mean lawyers are led by Partners at the firm.....
