Jones Myers Harrogate office celebrates team promotion

The team at Jones Myers Harrogate town centre office is celebrating the promotion of Brittany Dyer who has qualified as a family lawyer with the multi-award winning firm.

Since 2023, Brittany has worked as a paralegal in the practice’s internationally renowned Children’s Team whose extensive expertise across private and public children law jointly combines over 16 decades.

The department’s specialisms span areas relating to jurisdiction, private residence and contact disputes along with care proceedings. Family lawyers are also highly skilled in adoption, special guardianship, protection, relocation, educational matters, and domestic abuse.

Said Brittany: “I’m thrilled to be a qualified family lawyer. The last two years have given me the opportunity to learn from some of the best children’s family law solicitors and I’m looking forward to building on my advocacy skills and helping more families.

“Jones Myers’ commitment to consistently deliver excellence in client care is outstanding. Every client, whether they are private or receiving legal aid, is given the same gold star service.”

An acknowledged leader in new and complex areas of law, the firm’s family law experts achieve a consistently high success rate in international child abduction matters – both Hague and Non-Hague countries.

The team is also praised by Legal 500 for its “breadth and depth of knowledge” which the guide says is “unrivalled in their area” .

Jones Myers Partner, Kate Banerjee, who leads the 13-strong team, said: “Brittany is a valued member of our Children’s Team. Her promotion is well deserved, and we wish her continued success in her career with us.

“The reputation of our Department, which is supported by our own in-house counsel and always puts children’s best interests first, continues to go from strength to strength with talented and dedicated family law experts who are the best in their field.”

Jones Myers, which has headquarters in Leeds and offices in Harrogate and York, was launched in 1992 as one of the first family law firms of its kind in the North of England.

Retaining its top ranking in legal guides for almost three decades, the practice’s exceptional client delivery is reflected in the firm scooping the ‘Outstanding Client Care’ category in the latest nationwide Modern Law Private Client Awards.
