Fluxmans Attorneys is proud to share that Myron Mer, Director in our Business Rescue & Insolvency and Criminal Law departments, has won the “Legal Category Award” and “People’s Choice Award” in Forty under 40 South Africa’s annual awards. The awards ceremony took place at the Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch on Saturday evening.

The Forty under 40 Awards are curated to identify, honour and celebrate a cross-section of the nation’s most influential and accomplished business leaders under the age of 40 from a wide range of industries, who are committed to business growth, professional excellence, community service and have risen up the ranks of their companies or industries.

“It is wonderful to see Myron’s contribution to the legal sector being recognised”, shared Ira Epstein, Joint CEO at Fluxmans Attorneys.

“Myron was also recently named a Future Leader of South Africa by INSOL International and is an active member of SARIPA and INSOL, contributing to industry best practices. Having attorneys of Myron’s calibre at Fluxmans is further testament to why we remain one of South Africa’s top law firms.”

Myron was one of only three legal professionals shortlisted nationally in this category, with an independent panel of professionals contributing 80% of the vote and the public the remaining 20%.

Forty under 40 South Africa shared this about Myron: “At just 32, he has built a stellar reputation in business rescue, commercial litigation, and criminal defence, known for his strategic insight, legal excellence, and deep client commitment. His life and work experience fuels his passion for justice, transformation, and pro bono service.”

Myron shared that “Awards like this don’t come without the support of my partners at Fluxmans, my colleagues, and support staff. Thank you to everyone who voted for me and for entrusting and allowing me to grow as an attorney.”
