Yes. While the engineering manager might desperately want you, legal/HR couldn't care less.

You can negotiate successfully with the former, but not the latter.

I think the parent point is that if even your hiring manager / new boss can't negotiate with legal / HR... then the company is probably dysfunctional and you wouldn't want to be working there anyway.
