Yes there is, but I believe that it lies in major reforms of the justice system, access to justice, and lawyers.
Right now, lawyers on retainer are seen as a cost-cutting measure, and good ones cost due to current market conditions. This is one industry I sympathize less, than the military contractors.
While our litigation society is something that allows us to learn from our mistakes in principle, the lessons come now at an overwhelmingly high rate where restrict what can and cannot be done through contract to the point where law degrees become increasingly needed to understand them. This leads us to the rape deal, as well as a major source in the loss of our dynamic ways that once made north america, (well, mostly you guys) the chief innovator.
In the meantime, I'd rather see equity of law - allowing all contractors civil rights while working as opposed to just one subset within an industry that rightly provides the means to allow nasty people to kill as required, near and far in so many delicious delicious ways..(grin).
China gets over this with the use of fascist-style force and the middle finger from party level, although at a decreasing level.
But there's got to be a better way around this whole thing...
