re "a lawyer is meant to have a clients interests as the priority, whereas a listed company should have a shareholders interests as the priority. That is the conflict." : Disagree. A listed company does have to consider the interests of its shareholders, but that does not make it a priority that overrides their clients' interests, just as a private lawyer will be interested in their own income but not at the expense of clients. [NB. If you disagree with that last bit - that a private lawyer wouldn't profit at their clients' expense, then you have just blown your own argument.]. For any company, looking after their clients (customers) is a very high priority, because to lose clients (customers) is to lose business. Profits for shareholders (or for private lawyers) flows from that.
