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. 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
Described as "knowledgeable, professional and personal" and ranked highly by the Legal 500, the department advises on a wide spectrum of private client matters, predominantly acting for high-net-worth individuals and business owners. We are proud that the team has gone from strength to strength in recent years and has developed a reputation for being one of the most capable teams in the region, including being ranked in the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide.
Typical matters include
* Preparation of tax efficient wills
* Inheritance tax mitigation and asset protection advice
* Use of lifetime trusts, often in connection with Family Investment Companies
* Administration of estates (very typically taxable estates or estates with some complicating factor)
* Administration of trusts
* Preparing and Registering Lasting Powers of Attorney
* Applications to the Court of Protection
