Emma Carey, Managing Partner

Emma Carey qualified in 2000, before succeeding Paul Bibby as Managing Partner of MSB in March 2018. As Managing Partner, Emma is responsible for the implementation and delivery of the firm’s business strategy.

Meet Emma

Equality, Inclusion and Diversity

At MSB, we are aware that barriers to entry to the legal profession still remain, often discriminating underrepresented communities. We are committed to making the industry reflect the diverse communities we serve.

Our Managing Partner, Emma Carey has implemented an Equalities Committee with representatives in minority groups, LGBTQ+, Women, Social Mobility and Disability.

MSB was the first Liverpool business and only law firm to attain the Navajo LGBTQ+ accreditation and as such, have implemented progressive policies including enhanced same sex maternity and paternity leave, adoption leave and paid leave to transition.

We take a holistic approach to management and believe that there are many perspectives required to run a law firm successfully. We are proud to have three non-lawyer partners.

As a commitment to social mobility, MSB became one of the first law firms in Liverpool to accommodate the Solicitor Apprenticeship.

Environmental, Social and Governance

For many organisations Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is a peripheral issue and is very much focused around charitable giving.

At MSB, ESG is embedded within our organisation and runs through our very core. It influences the way we run our business and everything that we do.

Across MSB, our staff sit as trustees of 21 charities and social enterprises.

As lawyers, we believe passionately in access to justice and deliver a well-established, weekly pro-bono clinic at women’s charity and social enterprise, Blackburne House.

      I have never had to deal with a solicitor before but I’m so glad I had Steven to help and guide me through my situation, I was very anxious about it a...ll but Steven was very reassuring and gave realistic advice throughout the whole process. He updated me at every stage and was very clear with all of his communication. I would highly recommend Steven and I am extremely grateful to him for achieving the outcome that I wanted.
