One leads to the other. Lawyers start making a bunch of decisions on corporate strategy and product design because they have to anticipate the rulings of judges and juries. Their decisions are usually going to come late in the game though, leading to lots of last minute, shoehorned changes because they aren't able to review early enough in the development process (since lawyers are expensive and you can't get enough of them be involved early).
