Jones Myers partner Kate Banerjee - who heads the children’s department of the Harrogate-based specialist family law firm - is a finalist in the Northern Powerhouse Awards.
Organised by the Legal 500 guide, the accolades recognise outstanding firms, lawyers, rising stars and in-house teams across 23 categories - and celebrate their achievements over the last 18 months.
Shortlisted in the Private Client category, Kate has been selected from hundreds of law firms across the North of England.
The latest Legal 500 rankings name Kate as a Leading Individual and applaud her as a ‘standout children’s solicitor’.
They also consolidate Jones Myers reputation as ‘the leading matrimonial finance firm in Yorkshire, with outstanding individuals and unparalleled strength in depth’.
Said Kate: “This recognition is a true team effort and attributable to the relentless dedication of our specialists who consistently provide the best solutions for our clients regionally, nationally, and internationally. Well done to every team member and we wish all the finalists the best of luck.”
Delivering every aspect of private and public children law, the children’s department is at the forefront of new areas of law including deprivation of a child’s liberty. Its innovative and bespoke solutions always put children’s interest first.
Succeeding with the most complex cases, the 12-strong team achieves a consistently high success rate in international child abduction matters across Hague and Non-Hague countries.
Jones Myers managing partner, Richard Peaker, said: “Kate’s shortlisting among the best lawyers in their field is well deserved and reflects the esteem in which Kate and the children’s department are held.
“The recognition also reinforces Jones Myers standing as a leading family law practice which has maintained its number 1 position in the legal guides for over two decades.”
The winners of the Northern Powerhouse Awards will be announced on Thursday, March 2, 2023, in Manchester.
Founded in 1992 as among the first niche family law practices of its kind in the North of England, the firm, which also has offices in Leeds and York, has expanded to bigger premises in Victoria Avenue, Harrogate, opposite the Justice Centre.
