Jones Myers I deal with all aspects of family law. This ranges from matrimonial finance cases involving complex trust structures to child relocation cases.
How long have you been in this role and what brought you here?
I’ve been a Barrister for almost three decades. I initially set out to be a Doctor and studied science A-levels but mathematics was not my forte.

After studying at the
University of Buckingham and the
Inns of Court School of Law the rest as they say is history!
