Jones Myers boosts Harrogate team

Jones Myers has appointed family lawyer Sarah Barr-Young as partner to lead its financial remedies team, in Harrogate.

Specialising in complex, high-value disputes, Sarah is known for her work on business assets, pensions and out-of-court settlements. 

She is ranked in both Legal 500 and Chambers UK.

Sarah, who was born in Harrogate and attended junior school in the town, said: “I am a long-standing admirer of Jones Myers’ standing for delivering excellence in client care and legal services of the highest calibre and regard this opportunity as a real honour.

“It is also a privilege to be taking over from Neil Dring, a highly dedicated and compassionate family lawyer. 

“I had the pleasure of previously working with Neil who sadly passed away earlier this year following an illness.”

Sarah’s appointment follows recent growth in the York office and a continued top-tier ranking for the Leeds-headquartered firm. 

Richard Peaker, Jones Myers’ managing partner, added: “Sarah’s first-class reputation in divorce and financial remedies is widely renowned and respected and she is a great asset to our award-winning team. 

“We wish Sarah continued success in her career as a key member of our committed lawyers who are recognised as leaders in their field.”
