Revitalize the Practice of Law

The practice of law needs a change. How you’re trained, how you bill, and how you promote yourself and serve clients all feel old, tired, and in need of an overhaul. It’s left you feeling disappointed, dissatisfied, and exhausted. But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can change the way things are. You can still be the lawyer you dreamed of being. Be a different kind of lawyer.

THE UNSHACKLED

“Insightful and inspiring. I’m not a lawyer, but was able to understand the problems plaguing the legal profession and how the practice of law can be changed. Everyone should read this book.

"A fascinating and entertaining read.  Drawing on his extensive experience practicing law in both England and the U.S., Llewellyn presents a thoughtful blueprint for establishing a better legal profession for lawyers and their clients.  I wish this page-turner had been available when I was in law school.

A new refreshing take on the legal industry

"I found this book to be an insightful take on an industry that is in desperate need of a refresh. The author obviously has a deep understanding of the legal industry but approaches it through a new lens. He raises issues and ideas I had never thought of, which I think will help me in my own law practice. Not only that, but it's a fun and interesting read. Highly recommend!"

Must read for any service industry business.

"Unshackled is an insightful look into the legal profession. The author’s storytelling walks you thru his personal experiences for a delightful, informative and often humorous read. Unshackled is a must read for anyone that works at, or with a law firm; but the insights especially related to firm culture and customer service can be relatable to any service industry business."

Insightful, though-provoking and an entertaining read!

"For a (continental) European lawyer, the peculiarities of the English and US legal (education) systems that the author eloquently and entertainingly dissects can seem equally alien, but many issues raised here are universal and helpful — and the bonus chapter at the end about gifts is itself a neat gift."

Not just about law

"A friend recommended this book saying this was a very interesting account of how our legal system can use an update. I was hesitant to read it at first since I'm not an attorney, but once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It was so well written - a mix of factual accounts and true storytelling that kept me engaged. And while this book is a call to action for the legal profession there are many takeaways that every industry can learn from. From culture, to valuing employees any industry professional can learn something from this book."

Fascinating and useful insights into the practice of law

"I found this book to be a super interesting and compelling read. The narrative moves quickly and the author clearly has a focused vision, and has executed on it with great success. It reads like a combination of a memoir and a 'how to' book. I would highly recommend it for any lawyer, law student, entrepreneur, or anyone who enjoys a good story."

A thoughtful read for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

"'Unshackled' is a thoughtful and interesting read with fascinating insights into the legal profession. The author’s personal stories and real-world experiences are both entertaining and serious and deliver a common-sense approach for change. It’s evident he truly cares about the legal profession. This informative and insightful book offers great guidance for anyone – lawyers and non-lawyers alike – who wants to create a better, more satisfying, and productive work environment."

BE A DIFFERENT KIND OF LAWYER

ABOUT UNSHACKLED

Most lawyers enter the legal profession with laudable aspirations, but for many, those aspirations soon turn to disappointment, dissatisfaction, and burnout. From how we train lawyers and bill our clients to how we service clients and market ourselves, the legal system is long overdue for a wake-up call. As lawyers, we are failing ourselves and our clients.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Change is possible, even extremely achievable, but momentum must begin within.

In Unshackled, Paul Llewellyn reimagines the practice of law as a more humane and human-centered career, presenting a practical plan for improving the lives of lawyers and, in turn, improving their fulfillment and client satisfaction. After practicing criminal and civil law in England and California, Paul brings a unique perspective to an age-old problem: how to update an outdated system.

A must-read for every lawyer and aspiring lawyer, Unshackled is a call to action for establishing a more service-oriented and satisfying profession.
