The legal profession love clear title (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baronet

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

'the legal profession love clear' is the wordplay.
'the legal profession' becomes 'bar' ('bar' can be a synonym of 'legal profession').
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'clear' becomes 'net' (as in net profit).
'bar'+'o'+'net'='BARONET'

(Other definitions for baronet that I've seen before include "Lowest British hereditary title" , "Aristocrat" , "Hereditary knight" , "Minor noble" , "Nobleman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
