You can't get rid of legal trolls without denying justice to actual victims of corporate wrongdoing. Also, I would be extremely suspicious of any reform of the legal system coming from megacorps. This is not to say the system cannot be improved, it's just wicked hard and you cannot blame any single actor for not doing that.
