Myers & Co appoints conveyancing solicitor

Staffordshire-based law firm Myers & Co has strengthened its residential conveyancing team with the appointment of solicitor Jess Latham.

Jess joins the firm with a broad legal background, having previously practised across family law, civil litigation, landlord and tenant, and criminal law before specialising in property matters. 

Her work includes advising clients on residential sales and purchases, buy-to-let transactions, equity transfers and property matters arising from divorce.

Jess completed her law degree and legal practice course at Staffordshire University, qualifying as a solicitor in 2022 after training at another Stoke-based firm.

She said: “Everyone has been so welcoming and I am excited to join the team at Myers and look forward to developing in my profession and growing within the practice.

“Myers is a well-known firm in the area with a great reputation, and being part of the MAPD Group environment has strengthened the value that the practice can offer to the local and wider community.

“I am excited to be playing my part in making a positive difference to our client base.”

Myers & Co was established in 2005 and employs nearly 50 people advising clients across Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands. 

The firm is a full-service practice and forms part of MAPD Group, which supports the growth of local law firms through acquisition.

Tim Newsome, managing director of Myers & Co, added: “Jess has fitted straight into our busy conveyancing team.

“She’s enthusiastic and has broad experience of more complex transactions, which is of real assistance to our clients.

“We brought Jess on board as the buoyancy of the property market means there is continued demand for conveyancing, and we are currently expecting this to carry on well into 2026.”
