Claire Nickolds

Spear’s Review

Claire Nickolds’ legal career includes qualifying at Stephenson Harwood in 2002 before transferring to family law firm Manches LLP, where she met her now co-founding partner, Lisa Jones. ‘The defining moment in my career has been establishing Jones Nickolds,’ she says.

Since launching in 2010, Jones Nickolds has worked hard to consolidate its reputation, providing ‘clear and realistic advice’, always ‘safeguarding and pursuing [clients’] interests rigorously’ and remaining ‘mindful that the most successful outcomes are usually those agreed between couples rather than imposed by a court’.

To show for their work, Nickolds and Jones have an ever-growing number of high-value cases, including in the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
