Celebrating mlplaw’s 35th Birthday

We are celebrating a significant milestone this year – mlplaw’s 35th birthday!

We are now headquartered in Altrincham; however, mlplaw originally started out in Northenden. We moved to Altrincham in 2003, and it has been our home ever since.

The original founding partners were Ronnie Myers (Private Client), Gillian Price (Family Law), and Michael Lister (Litigation and PI) – hence the name ‘mlp.’ We now provide a full range of legal services for businesses and individuals, across Corporate and Commercial Law, Employment, Disputes Resolution, Commercial Property, Residential Conveyancing, Wills, Trusts and Probate, and Family Law.

This year marks 21 years at the firm for one team member, alongside Accounts Manager Anna Adamson celebrating an outstanding 25 years. When this team member started in law, women in leadership and board positions were a rarity. At the time, it was also extremely common for law firms to operate under a partnership, meaning only qualified lawyers could become partners. However, to their surprise, Stephen Attree and Michael Lister announced they would be changing the firm’s structure to an Alternative Business Structure (ABS), allowing non-lawyers to become partners and sit around the board table. This change provided an opportunity to achieve the career goal of becoming a Partner.

We are proud to be a Legal 500 recommended law firm in our core disciplines. Our team comprises highly qualified and experienced professionals whose primary objective is to provide peace of mind to clients. Our 35th birthday not only marks a celebration of longevity, but also reflects the confidence clients have placed in us over the years.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to delivering bespoke professional legal services, promoting the professional development of our team, and supporting our local communities.’
