You make many interesting observations on business and the legal profession. It seems to me that too many lawyers lack integrity: many have character traits and ways of behaving/thinking that tend to maintain the status quo when acting with integrity demands change: traits such as arrogance, monomania, dogmatism and greed can and do defeat integrity because they suppress and undermine attempts to critically assess changing goals and external factors. Personal accountability can be undermined by the corporate culture. This means choosing the firm carefully as the common goal might be get-rich-quick and to hell with the damage this might cause socially and personally.
