In Chapter 14 of 18 in his 2013 Capture Your Flag interview, real estate developer Brett Goldman answers "What Has Working With Lawyers Taught You About Business?" Dealing with lawyers with lawsuits, foreclosures, and other real estate events teaches Goldman the importance of presenting ideas and concerns in as black and white a way as possible. This provides a clear point of view that allows for more easily negotiated settlements and keeps the issues out of the courtroom.
