The Lawyer is a legal business information product for law firm leaders, commercial lawyers, barristers and in-house counsel. It is based in London.
The Lawyer was launched in 1987 by Centaur Media plc. [1] It published a once-weekly magazine for 30 years until May 2017, when the frequency changed to monthly. [2]
The publication was acquired by Legal Benchmarking Group in 2025. [3]
As well as the legal news and analysis website TheLawyer.com, The Lawyer also publishes market reports and information products. These include Litigation Tracker, which launched in 2019 [4] and publishes litigation news and analysis, and maintains a searchable database of case and claims data from 15 UK high courts. The Lawyer's spin-off online brand for students and aspiring lawyers is called Lawyer 2B. [5]
Most content on the news website TheLawyer.com is paywalled, [6] requiring a personal or corporate subscription to access.
The Lawyer has had five editors since it was founded.
