This month, we bade an official (and emotional) farewell to Paul Bibby – our leader for the past 28 years.More than 200 guests turned out at The Fly in the Loaf on Hardman Street, including staff, clients and representatives of Liverpool’s business community – all wanting to wish Paul a fond farewell.
Paul announced his retirement in October. At the same time it was revealed that former head of family, Emma Carey, would assume the role of managing partner.
In a tribute to Paul on the evening, Emma said: “Pride and passion runs through MSB and that comes from the proud and passionate leadership that Paul has demonstrated over the past 28 years.
“Paul didn’t necessarily teach me any law, but he did build my confidence beyond bounds. Every step of the way on my journey as a lawyer Paul pushed me forward and made me believe in myself and my abilities. He made me believe that there were no limits to what I could achieve.
“I know there are many people in this room that have felt the sheer force of his belief. Throughout his career at MSB, Paul has supported and empowered his staff, given them every opportunity to grow and has shared in the joy and pride of their collective glories. We will miss him dearly.”
Paul Bibby said: “I’m incredibly proud of all that I have helped to achieve over the past 28 years. MSB is so important to me, and always will be.”
Paul, who joined co-founder Sean Sexton in 1989, will remain with the firm in an advisory role.

A few months ago the former Minister for Merseyside, Lord Heseltine, told an audience in Liverpool that the top-down approach to community regeneration was flawed and that it was for local people on the ground to create their own “ladders of aspiration”.
Now, in a radical reboot of the old ‘work experience’ concept, national charity Drivers for Change has chosen Liverpool as one of eight locations for its new programme to inspire genuine social transformation and MSB are proud supporters.

Liverpool is a city known for its deep-rooted Irish connections - it is estimated that 50-75% of the population here are of Irish descent.
So, this March 17th, businesses are asked to celebrate our Irish heritage by illuminating their buildings green.
Liverpool Central Library and events space Constellations in the Baltic district have already pledged their support and campaign organisers hope to attract as many buildings as possible ahead of the festivities.
Emma Smith, director of the Liverpool Irish Festival, says: “Celebrating Irish arts and culture in all its forms, the Liverpool Irish Festival, Connected Irish and partners across the city are taking this moment to consider what St Patrick’s means to Liverpudlians by 'greening the city' and we need you to help us.
“To be clear, this will use no more power than the existing lighting used, it will just give the city an emerald glow. Let’s show how much Liverpool loves Ireland!”
Partner at MSB, Eamonn Sexton, is a member of Connected Irish and the firm support many of the organisations initiatives to promote and uphold Irish culture and traditions.
