Lawyers. regardless of the outcome.

Government lawyers get paid a salary. Their salary does not increase or decrease based on the outcome of any particular case.
Lawyers who represent private businesses receive whatever rate they negotiate with that client. Just like any other professional, and subject to ethics limitations.
Blaming "greedy lawyers" for a government-initiated antitrust case is pretty absurd.
