Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an established Partner to join our leading Wills, Trusts & Probate team.

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 received the 'Best Workplace Wellbeing' award at the Private Client Modern Law Awards 2025.


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.

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.
