The point of the scene wasn’t to show the lawyer’s arrogance, it was to show the company’s. They only sent one associate, who looks like he couldn’t be any more than a 2nd or 3rd year, and he was so insignificant that he didn’t even have the authority to negotiate a penny more. They underestimated the case and Ed’s law firm. This is contrasted later in the movie when they send multiple, more experienced lawyers once the case becomes much more serious.

The irony in this scene is that when the young guy says how many billions of dollars their company is worth, he’s trying to make it seem like you don’t want to mess with them because they’re worth so much money, yet here they are, worth so much money, and all they offered was $250,000. The point he was trying to make definitely backfired.

PG&E could have avoided that whole lawsuit in one day. They used old school methods of intimidation and this was a time when Big corporations were being taken on by old and sick people and the court system, for once, actually worked for the people. This happened in the late 80’s - early 90’s. Around the same time that elderly lady won a judgement against McDonald’s for $4 million for the hot coffee. May sound ridiculous, but the judge in that case said “If we had made McDonald’s pay $200,000, it wouldn’t have been enough to force them to change company policy.” They were serving coffee that was at least 180 degrees. The pay out and the bad publicity forced them to serve the coffee no hotter than 160 degrees. And the little old lady that was injured said she never saw $4 million. The headlines were misleading. She had her medical bills paid, the rest was used to implement the change in restaurant standards.

Most higher level American politicians are owned by corporations, and the rich, since under the Reagan administration back in the 1980s, they thought it would be a great idea to sell American democracy to corporations, and the rich, primarily by removing the limitations on government "donations" that every functional democracy has in place, for obscenely obvious reasons. Since then, there has been next to no push back to try to reclaim their lost democracy, so America has been a corporatocracy, calling itself a democracy, for almost forty years now.

For folks who are unfamiliar with the legal profession, the company probably sent a young attorney with a low authorized settlement amount for a couple reasons: (a) the company thought that the plaintiffs (Erin and her neighbors) won't settle without a big number anyway so sending a high level attorney is pointless, (b) the company wanted to crush plaintiffs at trial, or (c) the company underestimate the strength of the opponent's case.

Their top management must not be very good but maybe they haven't been very good managers for a long, long time. Sadly, many people will continue to have their lives disrupted if the company continues to lose law suits. And what about the state agencies that are supposed to monitor PG&E and see that they comply with the many (necessary) regulations? Regulators who don't regulate are complicit in PG&E's faulty operations.
