Jones Myers

What Jones Myers does

Jones Myers is a specialist family law firm incorporated in 1992 as Jones Myers Ltd in England and Wales, with its headquarters in Leeds and additional offices in Harrogate and York. The firm delivers the full suite of UK family law services — divorce and separation, children matters, financial remedies (including high-net-worth work and pensions on divorce), domestic abuse protection, international family law and child abduction, cohabitation and pre/post-nuptial agreements — to individuals, families, professionals, media personalities and HNW clients across Yorkshire, the wider UK, and internationally. Jones Myers is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA 618736) and holds memberships in Resolution, the Family Law Bar Association, and the Law Society Children Panel.

The firm's commercial model is professional-services billing: fees are set per matter based on complexity, time, and fee-earner seniority, with case-by-case quotes and confidential consultations rather than published pricing. Legal Aid is offered for qualifying domestic abuse cases, while HNW matrimonial finance and international child abduction work commands premium fees. Distribution is entirely direct — through the three physical offices, phone, email, and website contact forms — with no third-party intermediation. Marketing is content-led via a top-25-ranked UK family law blog and active social channels, supported by charity partnerships (IDAS, Henshaws, Children's Heart Surgery Fund) and sustained top-tier Legal 500 and Chambers UK rankings across nearly 30 years.

Operationally, the firm is privately held by its directors with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Senior leadership comprises Managing Partner Richard Peaker, Founder Peter Jones (first qualified family law arbitrator in Leeds), Kate Banerjee (Head of Children's Department), Nicki Mitchell (York head), Sarah Barr-Young (Head of Financial Remedies in Harrogate), Andrew Fox, Elizabeth Bell, Anthony Parrish, and approximately 14-20 additional fee earners and support staff, totaling more than 26 employees. Recent strategic activity centers on geographic expansion (a new Essex office led by David McHardy), deepening mediation and HNW capability, and continued recognition in the Family Law Awards (2020-2021, 2021-2022).
