Now, I hope it is clear why it is considered that GC/M&A/PE is one of the highest paying domain, if not the highest. You need to pay a generous amount of money to retain people who can bring such kinda money into the firm.
Coming to A0s. Come on man! A0s dont have as such contributions in deals and transactions. They are still at learning stages only. Once they reach A3 or SA level, you'll see their bonuses increasing exponentially as compared to other teams of the very same firms.
No lawyer can ask and no client will pay 'a portion of the entire value of such transaction'. Vakeel ho, dalal nahi.
