JMW—Pauline McNamara

Firm welcomes family lawyer to its Liverpool office

Pauline McNamara has joined the Liverpool office of full-service law firm JMW Solicitors.

Pauline comes to JMW from MSB Solicitors, reuniting her with partner and head of family law, Liverpool, Beverley Jones. The pair worked together at Fletchers Solicitors almost 20 years ago and again later at DWF.

Commenting on her appointment, Pauline said: ‘I’m very excited to be joining Beverley and the team at JMW. It’s great to have a new challenge, and to be working with an award-winning team. I can’t wait to get started.’

Beverley said: ‘Pauline’s expertise and unrivalled reputation as a leading family lawyer will only add to our offering. I’ve known her a long time: she trained me at Fletchers, and we went on to work together at DWF.

‘She’s a strong negotiator, who is highly experienced in high net worth divorce settlements, including valuation of businesses and complex pension and tax issues.

‘I am thrilled that things have now come full circle and we will be working together once again.’
