Most briefcases are hard shelled and so have a fixed internal size. If the case isn't full, papers may rattle around and get damaged or dog-eared. Not really a problem most of the time, but if you're carrying documents that could make (or break) an important deal, you want them to arrive in perfect condition.
In the lid of the case (or on a hinge) is an inflatable bag, close the case, then operate the pump to inflate it (deluxe model does this automatically). It will fill the empty space and hold the contents securely in place, preventing damage. Deflates on opening.
