Thank you. I was a stifled, miserable big firm lawyer for a long time (really chafed against the group-think and lack of the merest awareness of innovation) and am now a solo. OMG this feels good! I think the fact that as soon as I decided to leave, and especially after I did, I immediately felt terrific mentally and physically (instead of a sleepless, aching, ill person trying to find reasons to continue living every morning) instead of worrying about entrepreneurial risk was a clear sign that solo was the right course for me.

Bar associations are typically ruled by the least creative, least inventive, least interesting, most insecure people, which is why we have rules that all but strangle creativity in the provision of legal services. That just means we must be all the more creative, inventive, and resourceful. Charge on, fellow creative lawyers! We shall overcome!

It’s definitely time to have Dragons over for pizza. (I’m just trying to figure out what my train should sound like. I’m not a big fan of birds.)

This is a lesson I learned when I was watching my daughter play. She wanted to put her ‘jungle’ stickers on a blue piece of paper and I was encouraging her to use green instead. (It just seemed more jungle like to me.) I had to stop myself and tell her “It’s OK if your jungle is blue.”

If we want to continue to help our clients, ourselves, and our profession, I definitely think it’s time for us lawyers to get creative and rethink the rules as we ‘know’ them.
