Financial News’s list of the top legal professionals working in Europe is back for 2025.
We last published the Fifty Most Influential Lawyers in 2023 and there has been a fair amount of churn in firms’ top ranks since then, which is evident in the list – more than half the lawyers featured are new entrants.
There are also more London heads or leaders of UK businesses on the list than previously. This reflects its importance as a top legal market, with US firms building teams in the City and an ongoing war for talent between law firms in London.
