Merrick is a boutique family law firm with a big heart.

We exist to provide you with the very best advice and legal representation.

Based in the centre of Manchester, the team is led by Amanda Merrick, a highly knowledgeable and widely respected family lawyer. She has assembled a formidable core team and a range of trusted experts to call on meaning clients always have access to a full suite of multi-disciplinary, professional services without the limitations associated with more rigid practice structures.

Faced with life-changing decisions, you want a team in your corner that knows the law, all the available options and who provide specialist counsel. You can trust our expertise as a given.

Our view of the world, our client care and the quality of the service we deliver are what sets us apart. This means that in addition to the offerings you would expect we deliver more.

We understand that relationship breakdown can call for more than family law so we have created MERRICK Life – an interactive community of support and advice from the frustrations of co-parenting to facing a Christmas without the kids; planning that first holiday as a single parent or solo traveler; learning to love your new status when it was never part of your life plan; or ways to get some good stuff in to your diet when all you crave is chocolate or alcohol or both!

Our #LawtoDoor initiative brings legal advice direct to you. If it’s not convenient for you to come to our offices or you’d prefer to talk at home, at work or somewhere else familiar then we’ll come to you.

The last 30 years has seen the gradual erosion of public funding in family law cases. Now, unless there are allegations of domestic violence or mediation is the preferred method of resolution, you must pay at private rates for advice or representation. #AccessUs enables us to share our help and advice with even more people; a case managed service offering with every member of our team dedicating a certain amount of their time.
