Rewarding hard work and commitment : Jones Myers Masters performance prize

Jones Myers family law firm has presented an annual award for exceptional performance to a Masters law student for the sixth consecutive year.

The 2025 Jones Myers Prize for the Best Overall Performance on Master of Laws of England and Wales at Leeds Beckett University goes to Eloise Smith.

Eloise is honoured to receive the accolade which reflects the dedication and hard work she has poured into her studies. She says: “This recognition serves not only as a great honour but also as a source of motivation as I continue my journey in law. My sincere thanks to everyone at Jones Myers for this generous acknowledgment. 

“The prize has strengthened my ambitions for a career in law. After emigrating to Australia last year, I plan to complete the Practical Legal Training program required for admission as a lawyer in this country, which will further enable me to practice as a solicitor.”

Elizabeth Bell, Jones Myers Partner, who presented Eloise with her prize at the graduation ceremony, comments: “Eloise’s outstanding achievement is inspirational, and we wish her every happiness and success in her career.”

“As a firm which champions the development of the next generation, Jones Myers values its long-standing partnership with Leeds Beckett University’s Law Faculty. It is a pleasure to reward students like Eloise who go above and beyond.”

Jones Myers ongoing commitment to training and mentoring tomorrow’s talent includes the recent appointment of Paralegal, Ross Arthur who is based at the practice’s Harrogate town centre office.

Attracted to the firm’s powerful reputation for legal excellence and compassionate client care, Ross has joined the Children’s Department which is renowned globally and covers every area of public and private children’s law.
