I struggled to get engaged during the first half of this movie, so I missed why lawyers were required.
Other than an excuse to introduce a stereotypical New York character, this story line seems to make little impact. Her $2,000/hr lawyer says, "That was easy". His $200/hr shyster quotes Lincoln. Later on, she says she's marrying the American.
What did I miss??
They were getting divorced. So he wanted to be heard. He felt ignored when his wife admitted the children to a school where uniforms are mandatory. And if I'm not mistaken (I've never been divorced myself or married for that matter but anyway) usually every divorce case has two lawyers, each on the either side. So Xavier wanted his own cheap lawyer who'd prioritize him as he'd be that lawyer's client. Plus I guess he also needed some legal advice because he was living in a new city. Which infact did come in handy over the course of time.
I hope it helped.
Excuse my English, it's not my native tongue.
