Our firm

At Myerson, we do things differently.

Recognised as a Top 200 UK Law Firm by The Lawyer, ranked Top Tier by The Legal 500, commended by The Times Best Law Firms, and named Corporate Culture & Wellbeing Champions at the Manchester Legal Awards, we have built a reputation for excellence, innovation and outstanding client service.

As one of the largest independent law firms in the North West, our success has been achieved through sustainable, organic growth rather than mergers or acquisitions. Our reputation has been earned through entrepreneurial thinking, exceptional people and a commitment to delivering outstanding results for our clients.

We are proud of our collaborative, supportive and independent culture, and we look for people who share our values, ambition and commitment to excellence. In September 2024, Myerson became a 100% employee-owned business, making us the first law firm in the Manchester market to take this significant step. Employee ownership helps protect the independence, stability and people-first culture that make Myerson such a rewarding place to build a career, while ensuring that everyone has a shared stake in our continued success.

The team

Our leading Corporate team provides the highest level of strategic advice to a large portfolio of commercial organisations. The team has grown in size over recent years and continues to go from strength to strength, previously winning Corporate (and Commercial) Team of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards and named "Team of the Year (Cheshire)” at the 2025 North West Rainmaker Awards. It continually retains its status as Tier 1 Legal 500 practice.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for an established Corporate Partner with experience at either a national or top tier regional firm.

Candidates are required to have exceptional knowledge of all areas of corporate law, experience of providing high quality advice representing a leading law firm, and an ability to both play a lead role in transactions and effectively supervise more junior members of the team. We would expect the successful candidate to have top quality connections in the regional market, although a client following is not required. Experience of working with SME and OMB clients is also desirable.
