The Lawyer is a legal business information product for law firm leaders, commercial lawyers, barristers and in-house counsel. It is based in London.

History and profile

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 Lawyer has a spin-off online brand for students and aspiring lawyers called Lawyer 2B.[3]

As well as the legal news and analysis website TheLawyer.com, The Lawyer information products include Signal and Litigation Tracker.

Litigation Tracker was 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.

Most content on the news website TheLawyer.com is paywalled,[5][6] requiring a personal or corporate subscription to access.
