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 2019 and 2023’ and named ‘Health & Wellbeing Champions’ at the Manchester Legal Awards 2023.

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.

The team

Described as “knowledgeable, professional and personal” and ranked highly by the Legal 500, the Department advises on a wide spectrum of private client matters, predominantly acting for high net worth individuals and business owners.

Typical matters include:

Preparation of tax efficient wills
Inheritance tax mitigation and asset protection advice
Use of lifetime trusts, often in connection with Family Investment Companies
Administration of estates (very typically taxable estates or estates with some complicating factor)
Administration of trusts
Preparing and Registering Lasting Powers of Attorney
Applications to the Court of Protection
