I think a great example is how an experienced technology lawyer can guide a client to nail down a specification with a developer before committing major funds for the project, setting expectations and creating a basis for trust. It would be great if the Pentagon would do the same thing for weapons development, no? Good point.

I might also add in another "C" for communication. Lawyers end up spending lots of time on the "legal" part of the contract because that is what they know and understanding. They need to better understand their clients' needs and incorporate that into the contract. Too much time is spent on what happens if things go wrong, instead of how to make sure things stay right.
