Big Tech Lawyers Accused of Encouraging Clients to Break the Law

A recent Wall Street Journal article criticizes lawyers for major tech companies, including Apple, Amazon, and Google, alleging that they are not only failing to provide proper legal advice but are 'actively encouraging' their clients to break the law. The piece highlights the Epic Games lawsuit against Apple, where Apple's aggressive stance in withholding documents led to a judge referring the case for criminal investigation over allegations of lying under oath. Legal experts suggest this behavior is due to lawyers prioritizing their clients' financial interests and facing minimal consequences when caught. Critics argue that such actions contribute to a 'culture of lawlessness.' The article concludes by emphasizing that Apple's defiance against regulators and judges could lead to long-term legal issues.
