So you're an employee of a company, and the company goes bankrupt in part because you're not doing your job properly (and the lawyers were probably doing their job properly - they just incorrectly predicted the outcome of the case, or an executive pushed it through anyways), but you still got paid your salary. That's a huge win right?

Lawyers (good ones) want to provide value for their clients/employers as much as a (good) developer does.
