Myerson appoints Dora Bumber as head of Risk & Compliance

Myerson Solicitors, a top 200 UK full-service law firm and the first in Manchester to adopt an employee-owned model, is excited to announce the appointment of Dora Bumber as its new Head of Risk & Compliance. This newly created role signals the firm's commitment to strengthening its governance infrastructure and scaling its operations.

With a team of over 160 employees and more than 25 partners, Myerson achieved a notable 15% organic growth last year.

Dora will report directly to Chief Operating Officer Richard Lloyd, who expressed his enthusiasm by stating: “We are delighted to welcome Dora to Myerson. As we continue to grow, the creation of this role reflects our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and operational excellence. Dora’s knowledge, qualifications, and values align strongly with our firm’s culture and future ambitions.”

Welcoming the opportunity, Dora remarked: “I am pleased to be joining Myerson at such an exciting time in its journey. The firm’s employee-owned model, collaborative culture and clear growth ambitions make it a particularly rewarding place to contribute. I look forward to working with colleagues across the business to further reinforce its risk and compliance framework and support its long-term success.”
