Get to know: Myerson
Get the inside scoop on our partner, the Manchester-based legal firm Myerson. We’ve asked all of your burning questions.
Who?
Myerson is one of the largest independent law firms in the Northwest and is based right here in Manchester. They provide legal services to local and international clients alike.
What?
What services does Myerson specialise in?
Myerson works across a variety of different business sectors and with both individuals and businesses, making them a truly full-service legal firm. This ranges from property to business law, to wealth protection.
What makes Myserson stand out from the pack?
It’s fair to say that Myerson is doing the North proud, with an impressive collection of awards to show for their success. Chris tells us about some of these:
‘Myerson is regularly recognised by the international legal directory The Legal 500 as a ‘Top Tier’ law firm and acknowledged as a specialist in various fields, described as a “dynamic, positive, forward-thinking, effective and tenacious team at Myerson Solicitors LLP that gives sound and sensible legal advice and is very client friendly.’
However, Myerson isn’t just winning accolades for their work, they’re also championing a positive internal culture.
‘We were recently honoured as the 2023′ Health and Wellbeing Champions of the Year’ at the Manchester Legal Awards, highlighting our culture of prioritising health and wellbeing and our commitment to supporting our people.’
While Myerson is clearly making waves and enjoying huge growth, Chris explains that people are at the heart of Myerson’s success:
‘While we are proud to be a Top 200 UK Law Firm and ranked as Tier 1 by The Legal 500, we are not corporate by nature and remain true to our roots.
We focus on helping and working with SME companies, owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs, and private individuals.
From the high street to the top 200, the Myerson journey is inspiring to many. The firm is exceptionally well managed and run, with our people at our core.’
Where?
It comes as no surprise that Myerson is based in the vibrant suburb of Altrincham, known for its own booming growth.
Chris tells us,
‘We now have over 150 people based in vibrant Altrincham, and we are well-known as ‘the building with the Manchester Bee’.
With a modern, open, and welcoming office, the moment clients and contacts walk in, they discover a team of exceptionally talented lawyers and professionals who have a passion for making a genuine difference in our clients’ businesses and lives.
The majority of our lawyers have worked for large national and international law firms but have chosen to ‘live local, work local’.’

How does Myerson fit in with Manchester’s vibrant business culture?
Chris explains, ‘At Myerson, we cherish our location as an integral part of the vibrant Manchester community.
Nestled in this dynamic city, we benefit from a rich business landscape and a diverse pool of talent that offers myriad opportunities for engagement with professionals across various industries, including networking groups like Manchester Young Professionals, which prove invaluable to many.
This professional community in Manchester is renowned for its collaborative spirit and commitment to nurturing local talent, values that resonate deeply with Myerson.’
Is Myerson hiring?
Asked if Myerson is hiring for new roles, Chris has good news for any job hunters in the legal sector,
‘Due to the rapid organic growth of the firm over the last five years, we consistently have roles available to support the expansion of our 12 fee-earning departments as well as our business support functions. You can find our current roles here:
