Family law firm Jones Myers has retained its position as a top family law firm in the Legal 500 rankings, based on client interviews and recommendations.
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:
“Both highly professional and genuinely empathetic, they provide clear advice along with patience and understanding. Throughout my case the team worked together creatively and with dedication to resolve the situation.”
Managing Partner, Richard Peaker, head of the Financial Remedies Department, retains his status as a Leading Partner.
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.
She also represents clients whose assets may be overseas and where there may be jurisdiction issues.
With over three decades experience, Andrew deals with all aspects of family life in courts ranging from the magistrates to the appellate courts in England and the Channel Islands.
