experience litigating these issues, often in the same courts, and at the same level -- big cases are a different game. being able to say with high confidence that "this contract works, and it's withstood scrutiny" and then be able to back that up with court cases showing how it works is a big deal. if you're signing million and multi-million dollar contracts, or looking at huge risks, tax liabilities, etc., then paying someone 900/hr to make sure you're not going to lose $55MM is nothing.
