MLP Law

Firm opens Liverpool office 

MLP Law, (formally Myers Lister Price) one of the leading commercial and private client law firms in the north west, is opening up a new office in Liverpool.

MLP Law, which already has an office at MediaCityUK (Salford Quays) in addition to its head office in Altrincham, made the decision to open the Liverpool office after recognising opportunities to deliver expert and practical legal advice to the city’s growing business network.

The new office, which is based on Penny Lane, Liverpool, is headed up by Lesley Gill, director and head of wills, trusts and probate.

Lesley says: "This is a very exciting time for everyone at MLP Law as we continue to expand the business. We are experiencing an important period of growth and this move helps us strengthen our offering as a specialist commercial law firm to businesses across the region.

"Liverpool is a thriving location for businesses and this is why we chose to open our new office here. Through widening our geographic accessibility to our clients we are even better placed to provide them with jargon-free, solution-driven legal insight and advice for both their business and their personal affairs, in order to help them map out their plans for the future."

Stephen Attree, managing director of MLP Law, says: “It's been a tough time for the legal sector over the last couple of years and law firms have faced many changes and challenges. However, we're proud that we’re still continuing to grow in response to the volumes of client work we’re receiving."
