I was a partner in a Biglaw firm for 14 years, I have written a book on contract drafting that has sold 30,000 copies and I am an adjunct professor at a top 15 law school and a top 30 law school. And I spend my professional life now teaching transactional skills to lawyers.

I get that that's a lot of identifying information and it's not hard to figure out who the OP is, but they're a poster here like anyone else and outing is not allowed. If the OP wants to link to their linkedin that's golden but don't do that.
Edit: unless of course there's a joke I'm missing. But otherwise definitely do not do that.

Really. I know where you went wrong and the person you ID'd is close, but that's not him.
