2024 has been an incredible year for Harrogate Family Law.
From new team members to business growth and many new clients seeking our exceptional legal advice and support, we’re building a reputation as one of Yorkshire’s most expert, reliable family law firms.
And with recognition from two prestigious listings for yet another year, we’re excited to see what 2025 holds for the team.
We’re a Legal 500 leading law firm!
We’re thrilled to be named once again by Legal 500 as a leading law firm in 2025. It’s both rewarding and a real privilege to see all of our hard work and dedication continue to pay off. The team met a number of specific criteria set out by the Legal 500 research team to be included in this list.
These criteria include:
- Very strong technical ability
- Prestigious clients
- In-depth capability beyond ‘star partners’
- Track record of cases and deals
- Capacity or handling client requirements in their specific area
- Commitment to improving client services
- Perception in the market
The comments from the researchers speak for themselves and have demonstrated our strengths in these areas.
Andrew Meehan was described as being ‘at the top of his game’, while Laura Mounsey was said to be ‘an ‘ambitious and robust lawyer without limit’. The Legal 500 went on to say that Laura:
‘Is an outstanding solicitor. She is committed, dedicated and goes the distance for each of her clients. She is a better solicitor than those of greater seniority in my experience, being well able to identify the issues in the case and hone in on what matters and is necessary.’
As well as being a firm of solicitors who excel in their own right, we were also described collectively as an ‘excellent team who pull out all the stops for a client and ensure that their case is presented well. They work well together and often have good knowledge of the case, so there is collective engagement and approach’.
Chambers Guide 2024
2024 has also seen our continued success in the Chambers rankings in this year’s guide, being placed in Band 2 in the family and matrimonial category.
Andrew Meehan was placed in Band 1 in the family and matrimonial category, with respondents saying that:
‘Andrew is the best of the best. He couldn’t have done more for us.’
“He has the expertise to shake a case out to its core issues from the outset and to solve them.”
“Andrew was amazing to deal with in such a complex situation, pragmatic and a visionary.”
Laura Mounsey was named in the ‘Up and Coming’ category. Of particular note was how ‘Laura combines professionalism with empathy and thoughtfulness. She provides a steady guiding hand at key decision points and always follows through on agreed courses of action.’
Respondents went on to say that ‘Laura is an incredible lawyer who deals with each case with meticulous attention to detail’ and as a solicitor who ‘reassures her clients and makes them feel that they are retaining a sense of control over their own lives no matter how difficult or complex the case is. She is the lawyer you want on your side.’
We’re thrilled that our team’s hard work has been recognised by others in the industry and those who benefit from our advice and guidance. We’ll continue to strive for the highest standards in client care and family law practice.
