Trendy lawyer's to sum up (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in brief

'sum up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'trendy lawyer's' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in'.
'lawyer' becomes 'brief' (I've seen this before).
'in'+'brief'='IN BRIEF'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for in brief that I've seen before include "ungarnished?" , "shortly" , "Where barrister finds the facts" , "skip a lot" , "Where the solicitor should look for advice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
