CG Professional

CG Professional launched in 2016 in Chorley, Lancashire, after founders Louise Myers and Stacey Turner secured private backing to create a commercial law firm outside the traditional partnership model. The firm’s early growth was anchored in a culture that it describes as its core differentiator — recruiting senior lawyers from larger practices and deploying them in a structure that emphasizes direct client access over hierarchical gatekeeping. The firm covers four primary practice areas: commercial law, commercial litigation, employment, and real estate. Its client list spans regional owner-managed businesses and nationally recognized names — Everton Football Club has used CG for commercial work, and accountancy group Marshall Peters has worked with the firm on multiple engagements, according to published testimonials. The firm advises on both contentious and non-contentious matters, and its commercial team, led by partner Thomas Prince, handles contract negotiation, shareholder agreements, and corporate restructuring for UK-based enterprises. CG Professional operates from three locations in England’s Northwest — its original Chorley base, plus offices in Manchester’s Spinningfields district and Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock. The firm lists 48 professionals on its website, including seven partners and a dedicated graduate solicitor apprenticeship program. Dayna Currie joined as Corporate Strategy Director in a recent expansion move, signaling an intent to professionalize business development beyond founder-led relationships. The firm has publicly supported Oak Group on a major expansion, though details of the mandate remain confidential. CG Professional’s structural distinction lies in its privately funded, non-traditional partnership model — a setup that allows the firm to reinvest in culture and recruitment without the short-term profit distribution pressure of conventional law firm partnerships. This architecture makes CG Professional function more like a founder-led advisory business than a typical regional law firm, and it is one of the few UK legal practices to pursue this model at scale outside London.
