Lawyers of style

These lawyers essentially embody life at the bar: What we wear, how we live and express ourselves.

Published February 5, 2024

They exude class and brilliance and for the most part dress well. From corporate boardrooms to civil litigators, from transactional advisers to IP and AI mavens, the lawyers on this list reflect various practice areas: Corporate, Litigation, ADR, IP, Transactional etc.
Demonstrating exquisite taste, these legal professionals are more than practitioners of the law—infact they are arbiters of style and substance: They also remind us that life at the Bar is not only about precedent and persuasion, but also about presence, what we wear, how we live and express ourselves.

This list is presented in no particular order.
