listed law firms, page-28

Lawyers are answerable to the Court. First second and third. Then client. Then themselves. And if listed model, the shareholders before themselves. It's hard enough duty to Court and client, without having another duty.

Lawyers and doctors are not a direct professional analogy. Nearest equivalent for doctors is the Hippocratic Oath. But it is not close equivalent duty to Court for lawyers, which far more wide-ranging.

Doctors as group don't tend to run listed hospitals - just employees. But if you want an analogy, hospital run for profit by doctors management there's conflict duty problems potential possibly arising
- keep patients in longer needed
- allow some patients die if not profitable
- more treatment than needed
- etc
It's a snake pit and takes a Saint, not a businessperson, to work out the dilemmas.
