About Jones Myers
Working to achieve the best possible outcomes
Sound judgement, empathy and support
For more than three decades, Jones Myers has been helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s most difficult and important decisions. We combine specialist family law expertise with sound judgement, empathy and a clear understanding that no two families – or circumstances – are the same. From straightforward separation to the most complex financial, children and international matters, our focus is always on understanding what matters most to you and finding the right way forward.
Our expertise is consistently recognised by the leading independent legal directories. Jones Myers is ranked Tier 1 in The Legal 500 UK 2027 and Band 1 by Chambers UK 2026 for Family/Matrimonial law in Yorkshire.
With our headquarters in Leeds and offices in Harrogate and York, we advise clients regionally, nationally and internationally.
Why choose Jones Myers Family Law
Family law requires more than legal knowledge. It requires judgement, sensitivity and the experience to know when to negotiate, when to find a different route forward and when robust representation is needed.
Our specialist lawyers advise across every aspect of family law, including divorce and separation, complex financial settlements, children matters, international family law, mediation and alternative dispute resolution.
We are particularly experienced in complex and high-value cases involving businesses, property portfolios, pensions, trusts and international assets, as well as some of the most challenging areas of children law, including child protection, international child abduction and deprivation of liberty.
Whatever the circumstances, we take the time to understand your priorities and provide clear, practical advice tailored to you.
“Jones Myers has been excellent throughout the process of a very complex divorce. They have listened and acted with empathy at all times. I am so grateful for their expertise and kindness.”
Experience when it matters most
Our strength lies in the depth and breadth of expertise across our team.
Our Financial Remedies specialists advise on everything from straightforward financial settlements to high-net-worth and multi-jurisdictional cases involving businesses, shareholder interests, trusts, property portfolios, pensions and international assets. Our highly regarded Children’s Department advises across private and public children law, including complex child protection proceedings, relocation, international child abduction and cases where safeguarding and the voice of the child are paramount.
Wherever possible, we help clients find constructive, non-confrontational solutions through negotiation, mediation, child-inclusive mediation and collaborative family law. Resolving matters outside court can reduce conflict, cost and uncertainty – particularly where children are involved.
When court proceedings are necessary, our solicitors and in-house counsel have extensive litigation experience, representing clients in cases ranging from the Family Court through to the Supreme Court.

Our story
Jones Myers was established by Peter Jones in Leeds in 1992, making it one of the region’s first specialist family law practices. From the outset, the firm was founded on the belief that relationship breakdown should be approached constructively, with expert legal advice, careful judgement and a focus on achieving the best possible outcome for each family.
More than three decades later, that philosophy remains at the heart of Jones Myers. The firm has grown to include offices in Leeds, Harrogate and York and a team of highly regarded specialists covering every aspect of modern family law. Our commitment to excellence has remained constant – reflected in our long-standing top-tier rankings, the individual recognition of our lawyers and the trust placed in us by generations of clients.

Making a difference beyond family law
Our commitment to families and individuals extends beyond the work we do for our clients.
We support organisations and initiatives that help vulnerable people, improve access to justice and make a positive difference within the communities in which we live and work.
Our team has supported the Access to Justice Foundation, Independent Domestic Abuse Services (IDAS) and Northern charity Henshaws, alongside fundraising, awareness campaigns and pro bono work.
We are also among the firms continuing to undertake publicly funded children law work, helping ensure specialist legal representation remains available to families and children who need it.
For us, making a difference is not simply about the outcome of an individual case. It is about using our expertise, time and collective support to make a positive contribution to the wider community.
