Biglaw Partner Goes Out In Blaze Of Glory With Musical Departure Video

This partner's leaving Manhattan for life in the countryside.

help message in wine bottleYou’ve been practicing law for almost 25 years. You’ve worked at a prestigious Biglaw firm for more than a decade, and for many of those years, you’ve served as a partner. You’re tired of what you’re doing, and you’ve had enough. You’ve decided to retire, and you want to go out with a bang. For most lawyers, fine wines are but a momentary escape from the drudgery of Biglaw, but for you, fine wines sound like an absolutely fabulous new career move.

Meet David S. Wolin, who until very recently was a partner at Skadden Arps. Last Thursday, he sent out a firmwide email with his new contact information, noting:

After 12 years at Skadden and almost 25 years of practicing the CMBS and real estate finance, I am moving on. For a glimpse of my post–Skadden life, click on the following link. Feel free to like and share the video.

For anyone under 40, you may want to watch this first for context.

Wolin’s leaving Manhattan for life in the countryside. Watch his fantastic departure video here, which is set to the theme song from Green Acres, a sitcom that aired from 1965 to 1971 and featured a couple who moved from New York City to a country farm:

If you’re interested, Wolin would love to see you at Old York Cellars. It’s open seven days a week, all year long. Call 908-284-WINE to set up an appointment for a tasting today.
