Michael Rowlands
Spear’s Review
Michael Rowlands of JMW Solicitors is an exceptional lawyer, ‘a class operator who always goes the extra mile with clients’, a peer says. An impressed client concurs, crediting Rowlands’ ‘patience, great kindness, understanding and communication’ and his always bringing ‘a dose of good humour at a difficult time’.
Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, the solicitor excels at children disputes, complicated prenups, intergenerational wealth and family trusts. With specialist skills in Middle Eastern cases, he also has worked on a number of matters with a US connection.
‘My cases are primarily connected to the UAE,’ he tells Spear’s. These include summary return applications, which, Rowlands says, can become quite intense. As a result, Rowlands finds himself travelling to the region multiple times per year.
