Jo Carr-West

Spear’s Review

Family solicitor Jo Carr-West specialises in the complex financial aspects of divorce – including matters involving inherited assets, trusts and company law. She also mediates and advises on wealth protection pre-marriage, and claims arising between cohabiting couples.

Carr-West is further experienced in children law and safeguarding, including in cases involving domestic violence. Whatever she turns her hand to, she aims to achieve her clients’ goals.

Having joined Hunters on qualification in 2004, Carr-West was quickly recognised for her ability to handle cases with creativity, sensitivity and pragmatism. ‘No two cases are the same, and a creative approach enables me to find solutions in seemingly intractable cases,’ she says. ‘It recognises the diversity of clients’ experiences and priorities.’
