Harrison Drury appoints Shena Baron to family law team

Harrison Drury has appointed Shena Baron to head up its family law team.

The legal executive, who has almost 20 years’ experience in family law, joins Harrison Drury from Napthens solicitors and was previously at Roscoes.

In her new role Shena will act on all aspects of family law, including divorce and separation, children issues and financial disputes.

Shena said: “We continue to see big changes in family law, with the push towards greater use of mediation in divorce cases, moves to better protect children during separation, and improved rights for cohabiting couples. Expert legal advice is essential in ensuring better outcomes for those involved and I’m looking forward to helping the firm protect its clients.”

John Chesworth, managing partner at Harrison Drury, added: “We’re continuing to see growth across the business and that includes demand for family law expertise. Shena brings a significant amount of experience to the firm and will be instrumental in helping us further develop our offering.”

Shena, who qualified in 1995, is a member of Resolution, a national organisation of family lawyers committed to non-confrontational divorce, separation and other family problems.

The family law team at Harrison Drury is just one division of the firm’s expertise as we specialise and cover a number of areas of law. We have a team of solicitors in Preston, Lancaster, Garstang and Kendal who are happy to help you with any legal enquiry and provide legal advice, especially guiding you through complex law processes where necessary so you understand the whole procedure.
