@mj won't be able to respond, his practical but profound contributions are missed

EDIT: @Jurassic, not sure of relevance, both in terms of era produced and your orientation/interest, but hints of Mark Joshi's thoughts on your question are available in his books/materials on careers in finance for quant, and maybe implicitly in his technical work, possibly in his exchanges here.

Now that this thread has been revived, I have to ask:

When you said "Give me ... someone entrepreneurial, experienced and highly skilled in a particular field (say a ... bankruptcy lawyer)." What would make an experienced bankruptcy lawyer valuable for a quant firm? Or are you referring to more M&A stuff?
