Myerson Solicitors CEO Carl Newton, has been named in The Lawyer’s prestigious Hot 100 list for 2025.

The annual list begins with nominations, from which The Lawyer selects the most innovative and influential individuals shaping the legal profession today.

Carl has been particularly recognised for his visionary leadership in guiding Myerson Solicitors through a transformative year. Founded in 1982, the firm achieved a groundbreaking milestone in September 2024 by becoming the first law firm in Manchester, and one of the largest in the country, to transition to employee ownership through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). Myerson told MYP; “This bold move not only reinforces Myerson’s commitment to its people but also aligns with the firm’s long-standing strategy of maintaining independence and fostering a unique culture prioritising work-life balance.”
