E is the right answer.

A is wrong because of using they plural prounoun to modify a singular subject fed judge.If we think they modifies Lawyer a plural subject it distorts the meaning of the sentences.

B is wrong because of removing their before client as it is needed to identify whose client is the option talking about is client discussed is of Laywers or Hardware company.Placing their near the client make it clear that it is client of the lawyer we are talking about.Also, The damage of economic nature is wordier than economic damages,

C is Wrong again for the use of they

D is Wrong because of use of them.This option says that the lawyers are the one who needs to be protected as lawyers is the only plural noun them could modify.

E is Right as it is free from all the mentioned errors above.

Correct me if i am wrong.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
