It is common for people on the outside to think everyone on the inside is the same. This article makes the very helpful point that it is not enough to be a "lawyer." You must get a "lawyer who understands startups." Otherwise it's like an iPhone app developer hiring a programmer whose only experience is pushing COBOL punch cards through an insurance company's circa 1976 DEC mainframe. Sure, he's a programmer, but he's not likely to be of much use.
