Our Firm
Myerson is a Top 200 UK Law Firm as recognised by The Lawyer. We are also proud to be ranked ‘Top Tier’ by The Legal 500, commended by The Times ‘Best Law Firms’ and accredited as ‘World Class’ in the Best Companies League Table.
We are one of the largest independent law firms in the North West, a bold claim we are proud to make because it’s been hard won. No instant growth through acquisition or merger. Instead, growth earned from our day-to-day endeavours, an entrepreneurial approach to doing business and a rock-solid reputation. We recruit staff who are motivated by our core values and have an affinity to our collegiate and independent ethos.
In September 2024 Myerson became a 100% employee-owned business. We are incredibly proud to be the first and only law firm in the Manchester market to make this positive step. Being employee owned means we have taken steps to safeguard our independence, stability and people first culture for years to come.
The Team
Our highly respected Commercial team is ranked in Tier 1 by the Legal 500 and was recently nominated for Corporate Commercial team of the Year at the 2026 Manchester Legal Awards. The team offers expert legal support to businesses of all sizes, with a particular emphasis on the SME/OMB market. The team provides pragmatic, commercial, partner-led advice on a wide range of commercial agreements, including IT, SaaS, distribution, and supplier contracts. With a strong focus on sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and financial services, the team is known for delivering the highest quality of legal advice.
