Personal Testimonial

Julie L

Richard and Olivia were great to work with from start to finish. They took time to understand our industry, and how we worked as a company. This, mixed with their professional knowledge, allowed the process to be seamless, and produce specific documents for our business. I would highly recommend the team, and I am pleased that I have built this relationship so that if any services are required going forward, I will be able to contact them knowing I will receive a high level of service.

Personal Testimonial

Nick

We had an outstanding experience with Myerson Solicitors. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and approachable. Our solicitor, Olivia Whittaker, was particularly remarkable - her attention to detail, clear communication, and expert guidance made the entire process smooth and worry-free. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Olivia and the firm to any business seeking expert commercial legal advice.

Personal Testimonial

We needed to rewrite our online terms and conditions to ensure compliance with all legal aspects. Olivia and Richard were outstanding in their advice and assistance. They guided us through every step of the process, providing valuable insight and expertise. Their professionalism and clear communication made a complex task manageable, and we couldn't be happier with the service they provided.

Personal Testimonial

Andrew

I engaged Richard Meehan, Myerson Solicitors, for the drafting of a complex multi-product exclusive supply agreement. He was thorough, explained in plain English and kept me updated consistently throughout. In addition, his after service communications were excellent, ensuring that we felt supported in our negotiations. Great service, before, during and after, which is the benchmark that I have come to expect from all my dealings with Myerson Solicitors. A great team.

Personal Testimonial

Adrian

Richard and the team at Myerson were excellent. They guided me through a relatively complex legal situation and weren't afraid to admit when they needed to bring in other divisors to offer the best guidance which I appreciated. It was all done efficiently and for a fair price. A great experience.

Personal Testimonial

Mo

I recently worked with Richard to draft an international supply agreement, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. He was highly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and always responded promptly to any questions I had. I felt well-supported from start to finish and would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced solicitor for commercial contracts.

Personal Testimonial

Ben

Exceptional service, Richard and his colleagues were professional and personable not like other law firms we have worked with in the past. It was clear from the outset that Myerson were very down to earth and willing to put in the work to help us achieve our goals. They were a delight to work with on our contract negotiations. I would highly recommend them.

Business Testimonials

Aceplan Player Development Ltd

I worked with Richard Meehan and Olivia Whittaker, who helped me to build a comprehensive set of legal documents for my software business. This included terms and conditions for the different user types, privacy and cookie policies, and general website terms. Their legal knowledge and what was required for my business was very impressive. It left me feeling reassured and confident in the work they prepared. All the deadlines were met and I'm really satisfied with the end product.

Business Testimonials

Torram Ltd

I couldn't recommend Myerson Solicitors highly enough. Richard and Olivia were fantastic to work with, they were extremely professional and knowledgeable and knew how to get the best out of my contract. They were very responsive and ready to answer all of my questions whenever I asked them. They are a safe pair of hands for anyone starting out in business and don't have any personal recommendations for solicitors. They're very capable and very pleasant to work with and compared to other companies, fairly priced.

Personal Testimonial

Myerson deserves more than 5 stars. I am exceptionally pleased with the work done by Richard M at Myerson who worked on the Terms for my startup. Incredible depth of knowledge and amazing turnaround time. Highly recommended!

Personal Testimonial

Matt

As a start-up company, we needed specific advice, work and contracts drafting on key contracts. (Customer and Supplier) along with specific website and cookie policies. Myerson's completed this work on time and to a high standard. Importantly, they advised on which areas to focus on to spend time and money - very important for a start up. Every member of the team was very capable and if they did hand over, the person handover to was always fully briefed and up to speed with our account and work. Highly recommended.

Personal Testimonial

Jason

We needed a flexible VAR agreement for our AI based software offering that could be easily adapted to a wide variety of partnerships, engagement models and go-to-market strategies. The Commercial team did a great job making sense of our sometimes confused and over-complicated requirements, and simplified it down to exactly what we needed. Soon after we successfully used the agreement with a large multi-national corporation. All in all a great result and a great experience.
