We are one of the largest independent law firms in the North West, a bold claim we are proud to make because it’s been hard won. No instant growth through acquisition or merger. Instead, growth earned from our day-to-day endeavours, an entrepreneurial approach to doing business and a rock-solid reputation.We recruit staff who are motivated by our core values and have an affinity for our collegiate and independent ethos.

In September 2024 Myerson became a 100% employee-owned business. We are incredibly proud to be the first law firm in the Manchester market to make this positive step. Being employee owned means we have taken steps to safeguard our independence, stability and people first culture for years to come.

The role:

As a senior member of the team, you will have a range of duties and responsibilities to ensure the overall success of the Corporate team. In addition to typical fee-earning duties, you will assist the Head of Department and other Partners with the future strategic direction of the department. You will have operational input into decisions that affect the Corporate team. You will play a key role in supervising junior members of the team and assist them with their day to day enquiries and caseload.

• mergers, acquisitions and disposals
• due diligence and disclosure

Who we are looking for:
