About Jones Myers

Jones Myers is one of the North’s oldest and most respected specialist family law firms, founded in 1992 as among the first niche family practices in the region. Headquartered in Leeds with further offices in Harrogate and York, the firm has maintained a top-tier ranking in both the Legal 500 and Chambers UK for over three decades — a remarkable record of sustained excellence. The firm employs its own in-house counsel and is particularly distinguished for its Children’s Department, which is internationally recognised for its expertise in Hague Convention and non-Hague child abduction proceedings. Managing Partner Richard Peaker is one of Yorkshire’s foremost financial remedy practitioners, described by Chambers as outstanding.
