Law firm hails resilience after record revenues

A law firm has hailed its hardiness amid a “challenging economic backdrop” after chalking up record revenue.

Myerson Solicitors saw income rise nine per cent to £19.1 million in the year to August 31.

Bosses say the rise was fuelled by “strong performances” across its business and private client teams, with its employment team notching a record period and its dispute resolution department enjoying an “exceptional year” as revenue increased by a quarter.

They add the progress leaves the Altrincham-based operator well placed to “strengthen its position as a strong independent contender in the North West legal market”.

Richard Lloyd, chief executive at the employee-owned firm, which has more than 165 staff, said: “This has been another record year, with our performance achieved entirely organically. 

“To increase revenue by nine per cent against a challenging economic backdrop demonstrates the strength and breadth of the firm.

“We have seen record performances from several of our teams, advised on significant and complex work and developed our sector offering, while investing in our people and future talent.

“We enter the new financial year in a strong position, with further senior appointments planned and considerable opportunities ahead.”
