Exceptional service, Richard and his colleagues were professional and personable not to like other Law firms we have worked with in the past. It was clear from the outset that Myerson were very down to earth and willing to put in the work to help us achieve our goals. They took the time to explain to us in a non-legal jargon way all the key terms and changes that we needed to take into consideration and what we can do to limit our liability. I am incredibly grateful to them for their expertise. They were a delight to work with on our contract negotiations. I would highly recommend them.

Highly Recommended for Commercial Contract Work
I recently worked with Richard to draft an international supply agreement, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. As this was my first time putting together a supply agreement, I really appreciated Richard’s clear guidance and expertise throughout the process. He was highly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and always responded promptly to any questions I had. I felt well-supported from start to finish and would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced solicitor for commercial contracts.

Excellent
Richard and the team at Myerson were excellent. They guided me through a relatively complex legal situation and weren't afraid to admit when they needed to bring in other divisors to offer the best guidance which I appreciated. It was all done efficiently and for a fair price. A great experience.

Complex Exclusive Supply Agreement
I engaged Richard Meehan, Myerson Solicitors, for the drafting of a complex multi-product exclusive supply agreement. Our request was reasonably time bound and Richard delivered as we required. He was thorough, explained in plain English and kept me updated consistently throughout. In addition, his after service communications were excellent, ensuring that we felt supported in our negotiations. Great service, before, during and after, which is the benchmark that I have come to expect from all my dealings with Myerson Solicitors. A great team.

Outstanding advice and service
We needed to rewrite our online terms and conditions to ensure compliance with all legal aspects. Olivia and Richard were outstanding in their advice and assistance. They guided us through every step of the process, providing valuable insight and expertise. Their professionalism and clear communication made a complex task manageable, and we couldn't be happier with the service they provided.

Exceptional Service and Expertise
We had an outstanding experience with Myerson Solicitors. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and approachable. Our solicitor, Olivia Whittaker, was particularly remarkable - her attention to detail, clear communication, and expert guidance made the entire process smooth and worry-free. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Olivia and the firm to any business seeking expert commercial legal advice.

Excellent service
I really haven't had a direct dealing with Olivia and Richard at Myerson's as the Senior Partner would conduct his business direct with them. However, having dealt with them directly I found them so be so helpful and efficient in producing the legal documents I required. I would definitely recommend the Company and Staff.
