Explanation:

In accounting, every loss that a business made through the operation is considered as tax write-off. This regulation is created in order to make businesses who fail to earn profit to survive.

bankruptcy attorneys are most likely wouldn't receive their in cash since they're handling the business that about to closed down.

So, in order to obtain profit from handling such cases, bankruptcy attorneys often took different type of cases (such as business acquisition or Legal consultation) and use the loss they get from bankruptcy cases as a tax write off for their other revenue.
