I'll concede that any professional has multiple motivations to do what they do. Prestige, fame, a sense of accomplishment and all the other things you mention are certainly applicable. But the number one reason for a case such as this has got to be money. Why else would a law firm accept a massive undertaking on a contingency basis only, if they did not anticipate a huge pay day down the road. Besides, all the other motivating factors, if realized, add to the firm's earning power in the future.
