The current firm is the result of the 1997 merger of Berrymans with Lace Mawer.[8] The origins of the firm date back to the 18th century, when Joshua Lace gave his name to an already established law firm in Liverpool. In 1901, Frederic Berryman began the practice of Berrymans in the City of London and, in 1946, Arthur Mawer founded AW Mawer & Co in Manchester. Terry Renouf has been the national senior partner since 2006.[9]
Each BLM office has its own corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme and representative.[10] In January 2007, BLM partnered with The Prince's Trust for four years, assisting in its support of 14–30 year olds to offer practical support including training, mentoring and financial assistance.[11]
