Firm further expands its children’s department
Jones Myers is further expanding the expertise of its children’s department.
Kavya Balram is the latest addition to the department where Lisa Stephenson has recently been promoted from legal assistant to paralegal. Kavya was formerly in practice in India and is in the process of qualifying as a UK solicitor under the Qualified Lawyers Transfer scheme.
Headed by Kate Banerjee—who has Higher Court Rights and is a member of the International Child Abduction and Custody Unit—the children’s team jointly combine seven decades of expertise.
Kate said: “Appointing Kavya to our busy team reflects our ever-increasing caseload as we continue to witness a substantial increase in global commissions spanning international child abduction and issues centred on welfare, jurisdiction, relocation and overseas adoption.
"Aligned with our ethos of developing young talent, we were pleased to offer Kavya work experience and mentoring prior to her official appointment.”
