3. Assume the best intention of others.

8-9 PQE in Gen Corp, M&A, etc. in mid tier and T1 firms.
I have been away from the profession doing other things, which leaves me with quite a bit of free time.
I love the law, but quit the T1 law firm and the Indian law firm circuit because its a broken system.
I want to work in law, but during my free time, which will allow me to give full attention to matters and contracts. I run my own business, so I can set aside time.
I want to know has anyone here done freelancing or independent work, and how does one get the work? Whats the route? Is it worth it?
