Myerson Solicitors has reported record revenue of £19.1m for the financial year ending 31 August 2026, up 9% on the previous year.
The performance was achieved entirely organically, without mergers or acquisitions, despite economic uncertainty and challenging market conditions.
Myerson remains independent, 100% employee-owned and based in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
We now employ more than 165 people and have 30 Partners following our latest promotion round in September.
Further Partner appointments are planned in the coming months as we pursue ambitious plans for continued expansion.
Strong performance across our business and private client services
Our results were supported by strong performances across our business and private client teams, with highlights including:
- Dispute Resolution had an exceptional year, with revenue increasing by 25%. Real Estate Litigation and Contentious Trusts & Probate also performed particularly well, delivering strong results.
- Private Client had a very successful year, driven by increased demand from private wealth clients for sophisticated estate and succession planning, including family investment companies, family offices and trust structures, alongside complex probate work. The team continues to strengthen its reputation regionally and nationally for advising high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners on wealth preservation and succession matters.
- Employment achieved a record year, with demand driven in part by businesses preparing for significant employment law reforms and by the team’s recognised expertise in complex TUPE matters and reorganisations. Advising both employers and employees, the team has also continued to develop its niche in advising senior executives.
- Corporate advised on a number of significant transactions across a range of sectors.
Developing our sectors and specialist networks
Alongside our departmental performance, we continued to invest in our sector-led approach, bringing together specialists from across the firm and launching a dedicated Charities and Not-for-Profits sector.
We also developed our work across key markets, including Technology, Financial Services, Private Wealth, Professional Services and Agriculture.
Our In-House Counsel network continued to expand across the North West, bringing in-house lawyers together to share best practice, discuss key issues and build connections.
Myerson Connections, our legal referral network, has grown to hundreds of members, supported by an extensive programme of training, technical updates and events.
A distinctive employer brand
September 2026 marks two years since Myerson became 100% employee-owned. We welcomed 28 new starters during the financial year, while our employee retention rate increased to 90%.
Our employee-owned model is an important part of our proposition as an employer, giving everyone across the firm a stake in our success and helping Myerson stand out in the competitive North West legal market.
Investment in future talent also remains a priority.
This September, we welcomed our fifth cohort of Legal Apprentices, providing another route for young people to build a career in law alongside our established trainee programme.
Our culture received significant external recognition during the year, including being named ‘Corporate Culture & Wellbeing Champions of the Year’ at the Manchester Legal Awards 2026.
Myerson and our individual teams also received numerous awards, reflecting the strength of our people, culture and expertise across the business.
Making an impact
We also launched Myerson IMPACT, our ESG programme bringing together our existing commitments to our people, communities, the environment and responsible business.
Our first ESG Report was published during the year, setting out our priorities, activity and progress and providing a framework for measuring our future impact.
Community involvement remained an important part of the programme, with Myerson supporting charities and organisations through fundraising, sponsorship and paid employee volunteering.
Richard Lloyd, Chief Executive at Myerson Solicitors, said:“This has been another record year for Myerson and, importantly, our performance has been achieved entirely organically. To increase revenue by 9% to £19.1m against a challenging economic backdrop demonstrates the strength and breadth of the firm. “We have seen record performances from several of our teams, advised on significant and complex work and developed our sector offering, while investing in our people and future talent. Two years into employee ownership, we are seeing how our model supports both our commercial ambitions and our ability to attract and retain talented people. “We have significant ambitions for Myerson and see a real opportunity to strengthen our position as a leading regional law firm and a strong independent contender in the North West legal market. “We enter the new financial year in a strong position, with further senior appointments planned and considerable opportunities ahead.” |
