Indeed! There's an entire industry of litigation consulting that exists often for this very purpose. Lawyers and consultants made about $6 billion in revenues over the course of Lehman Brothers' decade-long fallout and unwinding all of the liabilities. The same industry probably made a similar amount on the opposing side as well, representing the debtholders. Very complicated and tedious work, and thus it gets rewarded.
