About this ebook
The once gilded path from law school student to wealthy lawyer has all but vanished. More importantly, many lawyers who are “successful” by traditional standards are absolutely miserable in the profession and want to find a way out. In Escape the Law, Chad Williams provides engaging and inspiring profiles of nearly 60 individuals who successfully made the transition from law to business. Escape the Law helps aspiring and practicing legal professionals find greater professional satisfaction through entrepreneurship and is an absolute must read for anyone considering law school, in law school, or disenchanted with the profession and seeking a way out.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you Chad for such an insightful book! I have been a practicing lawyer for more than 20 years and have desired to escape the practice of law for several years. I believe I am an entrepreneur at heart and will use this book to support my next steps.
