We are an Employee-Owned Business
In September 2024, Myerson Solicitors made history as the first law firm in Manchester to become a fully employee-owned business.
The firm is entirely owned by an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), designed to benefit all our employees. This model means that every team member has a stake in our firm's success, which not only empowers our people but also helps us attract top talent and reinforce our culture of putting people first.

Our Partners, lawyers and dedicated support staff are united in a shared commitment to delivering more for our clients. Together, we have made a clear promise to go beyond expectations by providing exceptional service built on trust, transparency and dedication.
This Client Promise reflects our ongoing commitment to you and ensures that every member of our team upholds the high standards you deserve.

The Myerson Bee
We became Altrincham's 'building with the Bee' in December 2018 when we unveiled our very own Manchester Bee.
Named ‘Bee-bop-a-raver’ by Manchester-based Artist, Caroline Daly, the design of the 5ft sculpture took inspiration from Manchester's hive of musical activity in the 1980s and 90s.
The Bee was located on Bridge Street in Manchester city centre as part of Summer 2018's Manchester Bee Trail before we secured ‘Bee-bop-a-raver at the Bee in the City charity auction. All money raised went to the We Love MCR charity.
Having been unveiled as the Myerson Bee, it now takes pride of place in our community garden and will be the focal point for our community-based activities.
Diversity Matters
At Myerson, we celebrate diversity, valuing the unique backgrounds and perspectives that drive our success.
Each year, we collect and publish data on the diversity of our workforce - most recently through our Spring 2025 survey, with a 79% response rate - and share this with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to help promote diversity across the legal profession.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are at the heart of our operations.
We are committed to supporting our people and the communities where we operate, upholding our responsibility to them. We understand that true success comes from being a sustainable firm, striving to minimise our environmental impact.
Firm History
First established in 1982 to provide City-quality advice in a more pleasant and relaxed environment, the firm has grown organically to a team of 160 staff while remaining independent and 100% employee-owned. We have retained clients from our early days and now service clients across the UK, EU, and beyond from our contemporary offices in Altrincham, Manchester.
