  Introduction

Catrin Griffiths and Mathey Swallow The Hot 100 is a rare thing. It manages to be both elitist and eclectic at the same time. Elitist, because we recognise excellence - and there's plenty of that in these pages. Eclectic, because we recognise excellence from all sectors of the commercial legal profession - the magic circle, in-house, the bar, legal education and overseas.

We know that The Hot 100 spots talent early, and we're delighted that this year we have more women than ever before. Among those women we have a diversity champion, rafts of in-house lawyers, up and coming M&A stars, and talented senior assistants.

Because we write about the legal profession every week of the year, The Lawyer has unparalleled insight into who is making things happen. The Hot 100 is an affirmation not of global organisations, not of corporate brands, but of individuals. From our cover stars David Childs of Clifford Chance and Nigel Knowles of DLA to the nine stand-out assistants of the year, every person in The Hot 100 is picked because of his or her individual talents.

Read, and celebrate.


Catrin Griffiths, Editor Matheu Swallow, Deputy editor
