Toby Harper, our founder and CEO, has been named in The Lawyer Hot 100 - an annual list recognising the most influential individuals shaping the legal profession.
The recognition reflects a decade-long commitment to building a law firm that works the way growing businesses actually operate. From the outset, Harper James was designed around a simple belief: ambitious SMEs deserve access to senior legal expertise that is commercial, practical and available when it matters - without the friction, formality or cost barriers of traditional law firms.
That belief underpins everything we do. By replicating in-house legal support through a flexible subscription model, we help clients manage risk, move faster and make confident decisions as they scale. The result is legal advice that enables progress rather than slowing it down.
Being named in The Lawyer Hot 100 is not just an individual achievement, but a reflection of the people behind our model. Our lawyers and business service teams strive to work as trusted partners to our clients, bringing real-world experience, commercial insight and a shared focus on helping businesses succeed.
Commenting on the recognition, Toby said:
“Being named in The Lawyer Hot 100 is a genuine honour, particularly given the calibre of people on the list. To be recognised alongside leaders from across the profession is a powerful validation of the different path we’ve taken at Harper James. I’m incredibly proud of the team and the businesses we’re trusted to support. Recognition like this proves that a law firm built for SMEs and for lawyers who want to work differently, can stand alongside the very best in the industry.
