After 25 years at Am Law 100 firms, J. Christopher Groobey is looking forward to some smooth sailing after leaving Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati at the end of its fiscal year in late January.

While other partners who have recently left their firms work on transitioning portable books of business, Groobey and his wife are more than two months into a journey that they hope will take them around the world the only way they know how.
