Does the quantity of lawyers actually makes a difference? (lemmy.ml)

When they say that "they have an army of lawyers" or that Disney has more lawyers than animators and things like that, do they tho? Is an army of lawyers really effective? Do companies actually have an "army" of lawyers to redact and sign documents?

The scope and visibility of the case is important, as well. Complex cases require lots of lawyers with different specialties to look at it from different angles.

Similar in engineering, you want more engineers working on a really big and complex project than just one person. I worked with a firm back in the day that designed a stadium - they had a whole floor of their HQ devoted to engineers who only worked on that project.
