Actually, all of the things you mention above are grounds for the lawyer to be sanctioned, if not disbarred.
The corporate lawyer is responsible for ensuring that corporate documents are properly filled out and submitted to public authorities, to tell the corporate officers when they shouldn't do something that would violate the law, and to represent the corporation in any legal matters.
Are there lawyers who are scum and abuse their knowledge, even at the risk of being disbarred? Sure. But that's not what the profession is about.
Just like there are doctors that engage in illegal research and use their medical knowledge to cause pain and torture. That doesn't mean all doctors are fiends.
The lawyer represents the client, within the bounds of the law. I'm sorry that you have had bad experiences with corporate attorneys. But please don't assume the entire profession is like that.

Well I do understand and agree with many of the things you listed.
But....they do provide a service when it comes to people who file ridiculous lawsuits against Corporations.
Like the woman who burned herself on coffee from McD's.
And the people who tried to sue McD's for making them obese.
There are many other unwarranted lawsuits and these lawyers do provide a service!

They also make sure contracts are written to protect the corporation from unscrupulous vendors, they handle lawsuits, and all sorts of other things. It's not always against employees, its for them too.

No matter how much one dislikes them, and no matter how much it galls me to say it, corporations are just as entitled to due process as the rest of society.
