Job Description

We have a new opportunity for an established and highly skilled individual to join our firm as a Corporate Partner.

Our firm

Myerson is a Top 200 UK Law Firm as recognised by The Lawyer. We are also proud to be ranked 'Top Tier' by The Legal 500, commended by The Times 'Best Law Firms 2019 and 2023', and named 'Health & Wellbeing Champions' at the Manchester Legal Awards 2023.


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 to 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 team

Our leading Corporate team provides the highest level of strategic advice to a large portfolio of commercial organisations. The team has grown in size over recent years and continues to go from strength to strength, previously winning Corporate (and Commercial) Team of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards and named "Team of the Year (Cheshire)" at the 2025 North West Rainmaker Awards. It continually retains its status as Tier 1 Legal 500 practice.
