Top 200 UK law firm Myerson Solicitors is delighted to announce its shortlisting for The Lawyer Awards 2025 in the prestigious “The Independents” category. This recognition comes after a year of significant growth and transformation, reflecting the firm’s unique approach, continued success, and commitment to high-quality legal services.
The Lawyer Awards celebrate the finest achievements in the legal industry, recognising firms and individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, growth, and strategic vision. Being shortlisted in such a competitive category is a remarkable achievement for Myerson, especially in a year that has seen substantial development for the firm.
In September 2024, Myerson Solicitors made history as the first law firm in Manchester to transition to full employee ownership, becoming entirely owned by an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This bold step secured the firm’s long-term independence, reinforced its culture, and ensured that every team member shares in the firm’s ongoing success.
Over the past year, Myerson has experienced exceptional growth, achieving a 15% revenue increase, following an 84% increase over the past four years. With a focus on building a sustainable future, the firm’s success is built on organic growth, strong client relationships, and a dedication to maintaining high service standards.
The firm has also earned significant industry recognition, with CEO Carl Newton being named in The Lawyer’s Hot 100 list for 2025, recognising his visionary leadership during the firm’s transformation. Myerson’s strong client portfolio and high-profile cases have further raised its profile, cementing its reputation as a leading independent firm in the North West.
Carl Newton, CEO of Myerson Solicitors, commented:
“We are thrilled to be shortlisted for The Lawyer Awards 2025. This recognition is a direct reflection of the hard work, dedication, and passion of our entire team.
Our transition to employee ownership was a pivotal moment that strengthened our independence, ensuring we remain true to our values and focused on long-term, sustainable success.
It’s incredibly rewarding to see our collective achievements acknowledged in such a prestigious forum. While we are proud to be finalists, we are hopeful for a strong result on the night.”
