Having recently relocated back to Merseyside, I can honestly say I haven’t looked back. Living by the sea and being just a short hop from Liverpool means endless opportunities for family fun and cultural experiences, from beach days to ferry rides across the Mersey.
Liverpool offers something for everyone: music, sports, arts, history, food and nightlife. Iconic events like the Liverpool Giants and unique experiences such as city-wide games make this city vibrant and welcoming.
Liverpool is the UK’s second-largest regional economy, offering a cost-competitive, business-friendly environment. With £20 billion in investment opportunities and 90,000 students (30,000 graduates annually), the city is booming.
Tourism plays a huge role, thanks to Beatles landmarks and a new £50m cruise terminal under construction. Football also drives global attention, with Liverpool and Everton boasting international fan bases.
Confidence in Liverpool’s legal sector is growing. Recent entrants include Taylor Wessing, Freeths, and CMS, joining established firms like DLA, DWF, Brabners, and Weightmans. Boutique firms such as O’Connors, MSB, and Jackson Lees also offer excellent opportunities.
EY’s acquisition of Riverview Law highlights Liverpool’s role in legal managed services, creating options for career changers and returners.
Brabners reported double-digit revenue growth, and Freeths’ Liverpool office continues to expand. As Luke Hopkins of Freeths puts it:
“Liverpool is the best city in the world… vibrant, beautiful, and economically strong.”
Liverpool Law Society boasts 2,000+ members and hosts 80+ training courses annually, attracting delegates nationwide. Junior lawyers benefit from a welcoming community through groups like the Merseyside Junior Lawyers Division, which Chadwick Nott proudly supports.
