Leading independent law firm Myerson Solicitors has secured six new rankings in the Chambers and Partners UK Guide 2027, further strengthening its reputation for legal excellence and reflecting a sustained period of growth and success for the firm.
New Recognitions for Myerson

Band 1 Expertise
We are particularly proud to see M. Akeel Latif, Partner and Head of Corporate Commercial, achieve a prestigious Band 1 ranking for Corporate/Mergers and Acquisitions. In this highly competitive area of law, Band 1 recognition places Akeel among the leading legal specialists in his category.
Akeel leads one of the largest corporate teams in the North West outside Manchester city centre, who regularly advise on complex, high-value transactions. This achievement reflects both his expertise and the collective strength and success of the wider team.
Five further Myerson lawyers have once again been recognised in the guide:
-
Richard Wolff, Partner and Head of Insolvency and Restructuring
-
Laura Pile, Partner and Head of Real Estate Litigation
-
Joanne Henderson, Partner in Employment
-
Victoria Davies, Legal Director in Employment
-
Karen Taylor, Legal Director in Property Litigation
The Chambers UK Guide is one of the legal sector’s most respected independent rankings, recognising outstanding law firms and lawyers based on extensive research, client feedback, and assessments of legal expertise. With just 2% of firms securing a ranking, recognition in the guide is a significant and highly prestigious achievement.
The latest rankings follow a particularly successful period for Myerson, which recently announced record revenue of £19.1 million for the 2025/26 financial year, representing 9% organic growth.
The firm has also celebrated another strong performance in The Legal 500 UK 2027 Guide, securing 32 rankings overall, including 12 ranked departments, and five Tier 1 teams.

Richard Lloyd, Chief Executive, commented: “We are delighted to have secured new rankings in this year’s Chambers UK Guide, while retaining all our existing departmental and individual recognitions. “Building on our excellent results in The Legal 500, these achievements reflect our continued growth and the depth of talent, collaboration and shared commitment across the firm. “This recognition is a testament to the collective efforts of everyone at Myerson, and I am incredibly proud of what we continue to achieve together.” |
