    Commercial advice on supplier contracts and risk management

    Rich Meehan at Myerson provided clear, pragmatic and highly effective legal support across a range of complex commercial matters. The advice was consistently well‑judged, responsive and focused on managing risk while enabling progress, whether supporting the resolution of a challenging contractual situation or strengthening the contractual foundations of a major transformation programme. They worked collaboratively with the executive team, translating legal complexity into practical, actionable guidance and giving us confidence that appropriate protections and governance arrangements were in place throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Myerson for organisations and professional bodies seeking trusted commercial legal support.

    Richard Meehan went to great lengths to understand the idiosyncrasies of our business, the wide range of client types we have and converted that into clear usable documentation for us. No hesitation in recommending Richard and Myersons for this type of work.

    Richard & Karam have been great to work with. They supported us with drafting our SaaS agreement and introduced us to other helpful professional services. They’re quick to respond, thorough and considered in their recommendations, and fair and reasonable with their billing. Thanks as well to Amanda for helping resolve some technical issues on our side. Overall, a genuinely excellent experience — highly recommended!

    We worked with Myerson on the review and update of our Terms of Business and related contractual documentation, and the service was excellent throughout. The team were highly responsive, clear in their advice, and demonstrated a strong commercial understanding of our business and the sector we operate in. They provided practical, well-structured guidance and were proactive in highlighting potential risks while offering sensible solutions. It was a pleasure working with them, and we would not hesitate to recommend Myerson to any business looking for reliable and commercially focused legal support.
