A couple of corporate lawyers on separate occasions told groups of us (informally) that:

"Corporate Law has nothing to do with legal or illegal or with moral or immoral.

My job is to tell management -

1. how likely they are to get caught, and

2. how much I'll charge them to get them out of it when they do."

Although both these attorneys were from the same enormous corporation, I suspect the attitude is pretty generally known and accepted in the business world (?)
