York-based Jones Myers has further expanded its Children’s Team with the appointment of solicitor Laura Sargeant, who brings sixteen years’ experience in family law.
Passionate about working in family law since her mid-teens, Laura’s specialisms include adoption, child arrangement orders, and child protection orders.
Based at Jones Myers’ York city centre office in Bootham Row, Laura finds it rewarding to support clients through a difficult period in their lives and help them to find the best solution for their unique situation.
She was attracted to Jones Myers because of the firm’s values and its standing around family law. Said Laura: “I have always had a lot of admiration and respect for Jones Myers and for their excellent reputation in the legal world. Always going above and beyond for their clients, they are also applauded for their workplace values and culture.
“I know many of the Children’s Team here, having worked with them on various matters over the years. I’m excited to work with such a lovely and talented group of people and draw on my experience to add value.”
Founded in 1992 as one of the first family law firms of its kind in the North of England, Jones Myers has retained a top position in the Legal 500 and Chambers rankings for over three decades.
Jones Myers Partner, Kate Banerjee, who leads the Children’s Department, said: “Laura is a great asset to our talented and committed team which covers every aspect of private and public children law. We wish her continued success in her career with Jones Myers as the firm continues to go from strength to strength as an acknowledged leader in family law.”
Attracting the best lawyers in its field, Jones Myers has its own in-house counsel and operates across headquarters in Leeds and offices in York and Harrogate.
