Myerson announces promotions and welcomes new apprentices and trainees as new financial year begins

23^rd September 2024 - Myerson Solicitors, a Top UK 200 law firm based in Altrincham, Cheshire, is gearing up for continued growth, announcing a series of key promotions and a new cohort of apprentices and trainees. Following a successful financial year that ended on 31^st August, during which the firm achieved a £17.5m turnover and 15% annual growth, Myerson is further strengthening its team. Earlier this month, the firm also announced it had become 100% employee-owned via an Employee Ownership Trust.  

A total of 16 employees have been promoted across the various departments of the firm, a testament to Myerson’s commitment to developing internal talent. Amongst the senior promotions, Jordanna Reynolds, People Director, has been appointed to the Board. Sarah Cowen has been appointed Partner in the Commercial Property team. Sarah, who joined Myerson in December 2022, has 17 years of experience in commercial property matters, including commercial, acquisitions and sales, leases, asset management, and secured lending. 

Another significant promotion is Karen Taylor, now Legal Director in the Property Litigation team. Karen, who has been with Myerson since 2021, specialises in commercial property management and lease disputes, and property development issues. The firm has also promoted four lawyers to Senior Associate, six to Associate, and three colleagues within its Business Services Team to Senior Executive roles. 

Myerson remains committed to developing future legal talent and is delighted to retain three newly qualified solicitors in the Commercial Litigation and Employment departments. At the beginning of September, the firm welcomed two new apprentices and four trainee solicitors. 

James Birch, Talent Manager at Myerson, comments: “It’s exciting to see so many people developing their careers here at Myerson. We truly believe that we offer a supportive, friendly and meritocratic environment where our junior colleagues can learn and gain valuable experience across our various departments. The addition of our new apprentices, trainees and NQ solicitors ensures we are well-positioned to meet our growth ambitions.  

This year, we’ve seen a record number of applications for both our Trainee Solicitor and Solicitor Apprenticeship Programmes. The quality of the candidates has been outstanding, and it is really pleasing to see the legal profession attracting so much interest from the next generation. I have every confidence that our recent conversion to employee ownership will make us an even more attractive prospect for candidates at all levels.”
