Kelly stated, ‘With increasing scope to be involved in regional, national and international cases, I am delighted to be joining the family law team at Banner Jones during a period of growth and expansion.’ Cathryn also added, ‘This is a very exciting opportunity to join an award winning, ambitious law firm with a long-established reputation for excellence.’

Applauding the move, the firm’s director and head of family law Toby Netting (right) said, ‘Kelly and Cathryn are both welcome additions to our established family team bringing with them considerable expertise and experience, and further bolstering our ability to meet increased demand.’
