Jones Myers boosts Harrogate team

Jones Myers, the niche family law firm with a strong presence in Harrogate town centre, has appointed paralegal Ross Arthur to its award-winning children’s department.

Ross joins a team recognised regionally, nationally and internationally for excellence in public and private children’s law. 

He was drawn to Jones Myers for its blend of legal expertise and compassionate client care.

Ross said: “The opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners, work on wide-ranging cases, and be part of a supportive team environment really stood out to me. 

“Working with, and learning from, family law specialists on wide-ranging cases, I am enjoying liaising with clients and being part of a supportive team who helps them to achieve the best bespoke solutions for their individual situations.”

The firm has also strengthened its financial remedies expertise with Sarah Barr-Young, head of the financial remedies department, in Harrogate. 

Sarah is highly regarded for handling complex, high-net-worth disputes involving business property portfolios, pensions on divorce and negotiated settlements.

Earlier this year, Jones Myers doubled the size of its York city centre team and received a ‘Highly Commended’ award for ‘Outstanding Client Care’ at The Modern Law Private Client Awards 2025.

With headquarters in Leeds, Jones Myers has retained top-tier rankings in Legal 500 and Chambers UK for over 30 years and boasts its own in-house counsel.

Kate Banerjee, partner at Jones Myers, who heads the children’s department, added: “We warmly welcome Ross to the team and wish him a long and successful career in family law. 

“He is a very committed team member whose values are aligned with our firm’s ethos to consistently deliver excellence in family law.”
