NEW YORK—September 18, 2018—Morgan James’s new release, Escape the Law: The Journey from Lawyer to Entrepreneur by Chad Williams, provides a guided path to a new career for lawyers who have found themselves discontent in the field.
More than 200,000 aspiring lawyers apply to law school every year. There was a time that a law degree guaranteed job security and a comfortable salary. Unfortunately, the road from law school to a fulfilling career isn’t as well paved as it once was, and even those who do find themselves financially successful as a lawyer often end up hating what they do. This was the case with Chad Williams, a former partner in a large Philadelphia law firm, and the sixty other individuals he profiles in Escape the Law. When Williams found himself unhappy as a lawyer, he took a leap of faith and began a new career as an entrepreneur. Now, he shares his experience so that other disenchanted lawyers can do the same.
One of the biggest fears lawyers face when considering a career change is a loss of status of financial security. Escape the Law helps lawyers looking to transition to entrepreneurship overcome their fears and ensure their success by teaching them step-by-step to develop a vision, set goals for their business, and hone the skills necessary to thrive as a business owner. In doing this, Williams utilizes his own firsthand experience escaping the legal field and shares the stories of numerous other successful entrepreneurs that have made the same transition, including business titans like Charlie Munger and Sam Zell, sports team owners such as Dan Gilbert and Stephen Ross.
Every year 30,000 new lawyers graduate law school and emerge into the legal industry, only to find that the career of their dreams doesn’t live up to their expectations. The business world is full of opportunity for entrepreneurs, and lawyers transitioning into this field can find personal freedom and fulfillment like never before. Williams makes the transition easy and lays out a clear path from legal practice to business ownership in Escape the Law.
