Highlighting the practice’s extensive expertise, the esteemed guide praises the ‘fantastic team’ which "give practical and realistic advice, always managing clients' expectations."
Reinforcing Jones Myers reputation regionally, nationally and internationally, the firm’s child abduction team is described as ‘a leader for all of Yorkshire.’
Powerful endorsements from clients include:

An expert in complex financial disputes, Richard is regularly instructed in multi-jurisdictional proceedings and cases involving complex corporate and (often offshore) trust structures.
Fellow Leading Partner, Kate Banerjee, Head of the Children’s Department, is praised for her client dedication, depth of knowledge and sensitivity in highly emotive cases.
“Kate Banerjee brings extraordinary compassion and faith to her work and this, alongside her expertise and tenacity, has given me strength and courage when I’ve needed it the most.”
Next Generation Partner, Anthony Parrish is described as “An excellent child abduction lawyer who regularly represents clients in 1980 Hague proceedings. His knowledge of the law in this area is second to none.”
Partner Elizabeth Bell and In House Barrister Andrew Fox are named as Legal 500 Key Lawyers.
Elizabeth’s track record includes complicated, high value cases involving company structures and trusts.
