Leadership

Melissa Kluger is the founder and CEO of Law and Style Media Inc., an independent, Toronto-based media company that publishes The Precedent A-List and Precedent Magazine.

After Kluger graduated from law school at the University of Toronto, in 2001, she articled on Bay Street and then practised in media law at a small firm. In 2007, she created Precedent Magazine, a career and lifestyle publication for lawyers. Under Kluger’s leadership, Precedent has won a range of industry awards, including Best Magazine at the National Magazine Awards (B2B)—the country’s highest honour in the world of trade media.

In 2010, Kluger launched The Precedent A-List to provide legal organizations with an effective and affordable way to advertise job opportunities and share announcements. Combining her editorial expertise and digital savvy, she has built The A-List into a popular platform that serves both its clients and its target audience.

Kluger is also a recipient, in 2025, of the Law Society Medal, which recognizes lawyers in Ontario “who have made a significant contribution to the profession.” In its formal announcement, the Law Society of Ontario noted that Kluger “has filled a journalistic void in Ontario’s legal world and has done so with professionalism and integrity.”

Daniel Fish is the editor of Law and Style Media Inc., where he oversees content and digital strategy for The Precedent A-List and Precedent Magazine. He joined the company in 2013 and became the editor in 2023.

In his role at Precedent, he leads the award-winning publication. His work in the magazine has won recognition in the legal community and beyond. In particular, he received National Magazine Awards for his profile of former Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant and his in-depth look at the prevalence of mental illness in the legal profession. At The A-List, Fish is responsible for expanding the platform’s lawyer audience and strengthening its online brand.

Fish holds a bachelor of journalism from Carleton University and a master’s in English from the University of Guelph.
