}}There is a rake’s progress of attorney from [[private practice lawyer]] to [[inhouse counsel]] to [[structurer]] (with sickly branches peeling off towards [[human resources]] and [[head-hunter]]: whether those latter feeble strands are some kind of nascent [[Evolution|Darwinian evolution]] we are witnessing in real-time, or simply a descent into decadent madness is a question on which the different constituents have their own opinions) | }}There is a rake’s progress of attorney from [[private practice lawyer]] to [[inhouse counsel]] to [[structurer]] (with sickly branches peeling off towards [[human resources]] and [[head-hunter]]: whether those latter feeble strands are some kind of nascent [[Evolution|Darwinian evolution]] we are witnessing in real-time, or simply a descent into decadent madness is a question on which the different constituents have their own opinions). | ||
[[Private practice lawyer]]s are prone to say things like: “This time line is very aggressive. We don’t have ''time'' for a term-sheet: [[let’s go straight to docs]]”. | But those who stay the course, who don’t evolve, or adapt, but keep within their darkened partnerships, thriving in that gloomy cove, are a tough breed. They are like cockroaches — or, more flatteringly, [[Toyota Hilux]]es — they will do whatever you ask, and will just keep going until you tell them to stop. The more [[tedious]], the more compendious, the more laden with unmanageable complexity, the better. They may not sleep for three days; their complexions may take on a clammy green sheen, they may subsisting on tea, pizza and prescription amphetamines, but ''they will endure'', their massive command of structural and documentational complexity intact. | ||
Lawyers may be obliged by entry-barrier perpetuating regulations to maintain [[professional indemnity insurance]] but their no-claims bonus is safe. Even when it all goes [[pear-shaped]] — deals like this often do — it will be impossible to trace that failing back to them: How could anyone, not across that whole body of information, hope to? The germ of dissolution, if it is their fault, will be so deeply buried in some third side-letter to the series proposal for the fourth tranche of the mezzanine financing leg that no-one else has a hope of ''finding'' it, let alone seeing it for the smoking gun it purportedly is. | |||
