42 separate deadlines / time periods in an agreement that no one bothers with unless the shit hits the fan.

In 2005 when I was still a newbie lawyer I got involved in this multi-million arbitration where these jewish siblings were trying to prevent their father from giving away their future inheritance to his fifth wife (my client).

Anyways, the wife got the husband to fire the biglaw firm representing him. They allegedly sent a bill for $100,000 to copy all the documents in the file and simply marked it as "due diligence."

Isn't that why CEO's hire big expensive firms for important stuff? To cover their ass if something goes wrong. They can always just blame it on the firm.
