Myerson Solicitors welcomes Victoria Davies to award-winning employment team

Myerson Solicitors, a top UK 200 law firm based in Altrincham, is delighted to announce the appointment of Victoria Davies as legal director in its employment team.

With more than 20 years’ experience in the field, Victoria joins from international law firm Addleshaw Goddard, bringing a wealth of expertise to the highly regarded team.

Throughout her career, Victoria has advised a diverse range of businesses, from major corporates to SMEs. Her experience spans day-to-day employment advice, such as handling workforce changes and resolving workplace disputes, to supporting businesses through organisational restructures and managing complex tribunal claims.

She has represented clients in high-stakes employment disputes, including litigation involving post-termination restrictions, confidentiality breaches, and sensitive claims such as whistleblowing and discrimination cases.

Victoria’s career also includes significant in-house legal experience, gained during secondments with a leading commercial airline and a global energy company. This hands-on experience has provided her with valuable insight into the practical challenges faced by businesses and HR teams, enabling her to deliver pragmatic and commercially focused solutions tailored to client needs.

Victoria’s appointment further strengthens Myerson’s Employment Law Team, which was crowned Employment Team of the Year at the 2024 Manchester Legal Awards and is now the largest in the North West outside Manchester City Centre.

The team of 12 advises both employers and employees and has seen growing demand for its services, including its highly popular Myerson HR retainer, which provides comprehensive employment law and HR support to businesses.

Joanne Evans, head of the employment team at Myerson, said: We are thrilled to welcome Victoria to the firm. She and I worked together previously at Addleshaw Goddard before I joined Myerson, so I know what a strong and client-focused lawyer she is. Her depth of experience, particularly in navigating complex disputes and working in-house, adds even more strength to the support we offer our clients. Victoria’s arrival comes at an exciting time for our busy team, and we are delighted to have her on board.”

2024 was an outstanding year for Myerson, marked by 15% organic growth and its transition to employee ownership. The substantial and growing team of talented employment lawyers is well-positioned to support clients through the significant changes in employment legislation introduced by the Labour government, and challenges such as restructures to counter increasing employment costs, a competitive job market and the growing focus on employment disputes.
