Private family team announces appointment of senior associate

Jackson Lees has strengthened its private family team with the appointment of senior associate Jennifer Carr, who joins from MSB Solicitors’ Liverpool office. Carr brings more than 15 years’ experience advising clients across Merseyside and Cheshire.

She specialises in all aspects of family law, including divorce, financial disputes arising from marital breakdown and private children proceedings. Her practice also covers disputes between unmarried partners, as well as nuptial and cohabitation agreements, and she has acted for a wide range of high-net-worth clients.

Sarah McCarthy, partner and head of the family team at Jackson Lees, said Carr brings ‘exceptional legal expertise’ alongside ‘a deep commitment to supporting families through some of life’s most challenging moments’, adding that her experience ‘will strengthen our ability to provide tailored solutions’.

Carr said: ‘I’m passionate about family law and am committed to helping clients during what can be the most difficult time in their lives.’ She added: ‘I’m thrilled to be part of the Jackson Lees Group and am very excited to be working alongside Sarah and the rest of her fantastic team.’
