An Insider's Guide to Law Firm Land: Tales on How to Become a Happy and Successful Lawyer is an engaging, personal mentorship book detailing how lawyers can achieve a happy and successful career in private practice law firms. This honest, captivating series of true tales offers a wealth of advice no one gave you in law school, such as the fact that lawyers who fail to deliver clients will be precariously close to being shown the exit door by their fortieth birthday. Each chapter reveals actual experiences from the author's thirty-year legal career. Herein lies guidance for exceeding expectations to become the go-to option for the most desirable work, delivering work product that makes Partners happy, dealing with difficult Partners, what it really means to make Partner, a fresh approach to client development as something to embrace rather than dread, and achieving a work-life balance between what the law firm wants and what you want to give.
