From Dawn to Dusk: How to Build a Multimillion Dollar Law Practice and Then Give It Away

With his signature wit and wisdom, Douglas Wood (Asshole Attorney: Musings, Memories and Missteps in a 40 Year Career) tells his story of building a law practice, rising through the partner ranks at one of the largest global firms, and then giving it all away as he transitioned into a life filled with more golf than greed. In From Dawn to Dusk, Wood provides a step-by-step guide for new lawyers on how to be successful. Using proven marketing and business development strategies and tactics, readers will learn how to set up a result-driven marketing strategy to grow their client rosters.

However, all good things must come to an end, and eventually, all great lawyers must pass the baton and leave their law firm careers and practices behind. In the second section, more “seasoned” readers will learn how Wood navigated the complex process of decoupling from his practice with intent and purpose. Wood’s mission is to provide a clear path so readers can control the trajectory of their careers at the beginning and when they are ready to move on to the next thing, whatever that may be.
