MSB Solicitors Has Been Named In The Times Best Law Firms
Liverpool-based MSB Solicitors has been named in The Times Best Law Firms 2021.
For the third year running, The Times and independent market-research company, Statista, conducted surveys among thousands of lawyers and used their responses to identify the leading 200 law firms in England & Wales, and the top 40 in Scotland. The response from lawyers was higher than in the past two years, even though their professional lives had been disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The news of MSB’s inclusion comes following a successful year for the firm, which has seen revenue increase to £7.5 million, up from £6.4 million the previous year, with a profitability increase of 10 per cent.

In recognition of its commitment to delivering excellence, MSB has been shortlisted for seven national awards, winning two so far, having been awarded Inclusion and Diversity at the Modern Law Awards and Jo Dalton being named Practice Manager of the Year at the Legal Excellence Awards.
MSB was also listed in five categories in the latest Legal 500, with its Crime and Family departments being ranked as Tier 1, in addition to the firm’s Family department being ranked Tier 1 in the 2021 Chambers and Partners, with Pauline McNamara, Caroline Hamilton-Barrett and Emma Palmer all named as Recognised Practitioners.
