lawyers find themselves yearning for the promise of opportunity and the
freedom that entrepreneurs enjoy. They challenge the status quo, and often
their parents and grandparents, in pursuit of their dreams.

For where most see obstacles, entrepreneurs see promise and possibility.
Rather than cling to security, they choose to embrace opportunity—at all
costs, and often, against all odds.

Today, the entire world is open for business. Technology has leveled the
playing field and fast-forwarded progress. The geographic barriers that
challenged previous generations have all but vanished, and the landscape
has grown to encompass unprecedented opportunity. The world today is
bright with promise for aspiring entrepreneurs who believe that they can
create and shape the future.

Entrepreneurs, driven by their passions and vision, are testimony to the
fact that free enterprise and capitalism are alive and well. In a world
challenged by change and shaken by uncertainties, we look to the
entrepreneurs of today and tomorrow to lead the charge.
