From my experience, most files have their own unique issues that arise along the way and a good lawyer will never just blindly take a precedent or merely do a “fill in the blanks” exercise before sending them to the client. Someone needs to be there to case manage, analyse, review or research. Any good corporate lawyer will know that a lawyer who use the cookie cutter method all the time is one who makes a lot of legal and logical errors.

Whilst I agree that law is getting competitive as has been the case since years ago, areas like tech are also becoming competitive because the field is not protected like law. To all readers here, read everything with a pinch of salt, or they will cost you your career.
