Isn't forgery like that illegal beyond merely unethical? Couldn't those attorneys be disbarred? It can't be okay for lawyers to forge documents knowingly.

  It would have to be proven that the lawyers knew the documents were forged and weren't simply acting on the representations made by their clients.

    well, likely that they knew or reasonably should have known.

    Yes but in the case of a major corporation the “client” giving the representation was almost certainly in-house counsel who knew or should have known the agreement submitted was not, in fact, the true agreement. Somewhere in this fact pattern is a very, very unethical lawyer. Perhaps several.
