I know criticizing attorneys is a fashionable pastime, but your comment is neither informed nor creative. I know it may come as a shock, but attorneys make a lot more money structuring, negotiating and drafting agreements than they do advising clients not to enter into them. This said, the type of advice that I was referring to pertains to legal compliance and best practices in the context of running a business. Example: 1. An employer is advised by counsel that it must or should keep certain records. 2. It, for whatever reason, fails to do so. 3. As a result of its failure, it is fined, or is less able to defend itself in a lawsuit. This sort of thing happens. Every single day. The only thing being taken to the bank is money that employers never had to part with in the first place.
