I'm looking for an informal term to describe investment bankers, big law corporate lawyers, high-end consultants, and the like. The closest I can come up with is "yuppie", but that's no good because 1) it refers only to young people, and 2) it's somewhat dated.
Example: They met at a ritzy lounge frequented by [word]s.

There is no word specifically limiting to those categories.
You could call them corporate elite. Or just prefix any word with corporate in front.
