I got into an argument last night with a friend of mine. I desperately wanted to argue that biglaw associates were part of the capitalist/ruling/upper class. He won.

 Once you make a habit of giving up that control, it is easy to be viewed ask, for lack of a better word, someone of a lower class and, therefore, significantly harder to regain it.

I agree, Adam -- just keep in mind that "input" (specifically, as you suggest, into the types of cases and clients the firm takes on) and "control" are not really the same thing. Input can make you feel like you've got a measure of control, but that doesn't mean you really have it.
