David Wilkins celebrated as market shaper

Insight June 25, 2025

David Wilkins, HLS Center on the Legal Profession faculty director, joined FT for their conference, “20 Years of Legal Innovation: Paying it Forward,” where they celebrated 20 years of the Innovative Lawyer list and selected 20 lawyers as “market shapers.” Wilkins was named a market shaper, in recognition of how he has “promoted study of the development of the profession as a discipline in itself.”
