If you knew that one of your coworkers could cause you to be banned from your field for life if you did something, would that not be enough incentive to stop you from doing it?

All she has to do is clue in a named partner. He or she can then make sure the info is handled at only the highest levels.
I understand how easy it would be to get around. I'm asking if the possible downsides would be enough to stay your hand?
Me, I'd work for another firm. You can't tell me this firm made her the best possible offer without knowing what she would deliver.
Fair concern. Like I said, it's definitely a bad look, in this case. But that doesn't mean the ethics rules as written are faulty.
Just to harp on the point, because you slipped away from the location I was trying to steer you, I wasn't asking what you would do if you were a lawyer. I was asking what you would do in your own profession. If the consequences of misbehavior were the potential loss of your ability to do your job for the rest of your life, would that not constrain you from engaging in said misbehavior?
I'd like to think my own sense of right and wrong would be sufficient. You know, that pesky ethics thing. Hard for a lawyer to grasp, I suspect. 😉
Your joke got me where I wanted to go. Why do we also assign a lower sense of morals and ethics to lawyers?
Even if everything a lawyer does is 100% inside legal bounds, it doesn’t mean it’s ethical or moral. Of course, that’s not true for just lawyers.
plenty of private firms that don't represent a conflict of interest for said lawyers.
if govt is allowed to be bought, 100% chance it will be.
this is just another way it gets bought.
legalized corruption.
and when the system itself is corrupt, as ours is, the non corrupt have no place in it, and at that point represent the enemy.
the problem with our current system of govt for sale, is that ethical and moral behavior is the risk to one's career, and misbehavior, or the willingness of, is a plus, if not a requirement.
in the land of the corrupt, the non corrupt are not welcome, and become the enemy.
it's not personal, it's just business.

The FAA has a different set of rules for upgrading an existing design and a new design. If this were the Boing 7000, the FAA would have been far more involved and perhaps caught issues. But by tweaking the 737, a very ubiquitous aircraft, Boeing escaped a lot of oversight. Of course Boeing knew that. I don't know there is a good answer. We probably don't want every modification to result in reexamining everything from the ground up. But clearly trusting isn't working either.
Each round of plane re-design seemingly uses more and more technology, largely intended to reduce the rate of pilot error and requiring fewer decisions. In principle this is a good thing, since pilot error is still the biggest contributor to crashes. But the software development and testing certainly needs to be more highly scrutinized, along with any hardware changes that go along with them. I wonder whether the software is farmed out, or if Boing does everything internally. If they do everything themselves, a full review ought to go to another tech company, plus any FAA computer geeks, assuming they have some.
