This year, #whoswholegal commends Oriane Cannac as a “supremely skilled communicator” and an “effective, ferocious advocate in the courtroom”. This links to my favourite ode to change (and joy 😉). Apple cracked it in 1997:
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Here’s to the rebels who dream AND do. And to the incredible whoswholegal #2025 client and peer referees who relentlessly support me in those dreams, thank you. Together, we’re reinventing what it means to be a lawyer. And what it means to be a client.
