Bryan Jones

Spear’s Review

Family law all-rounder Bryan Jones is an expert in acting for international HNWs in financial and children matters, including Children Act proceedings.

Jones joined Hughes Fowler Carruthers in 2010, amassing experience in heavily litigated HNW divorces in the High Court and the Court of Appeal, and became a partner in 2018. Recent cases have involved couples with assets in the tens and hundreds of millions of pounds, involving international jurisdictions and complex wealth structures on all sides. Clients are often in the public eye, and so privacy is paramount.

Founded in 2001, Hughes Fowler Carruthers is renowned for its success in dealing with complex financial matters. ‘We are well known for our experience in the seeking and obtaining of asset freezing injunctions that affect assets held overseas, and we understand exactly how to address the question of enforcement of English court orders abroad,’ the firm says.

Adviser Profile

Commended for his tenacity, ‘master tactician’ Bryan Jones has vast experience in acting for international high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals in a wide range of divorce, financial and children matters, litigating both pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and acting in cross-jurisdiction cases. Jones has developed a successful practice dealing with a range of highly complex family law work, and has numerous reported cases in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court to his name. 

Instructed by international billionaires and other high-profile individuals, he is known for his ‘fine instincts and a talent for forensic analysis’ and for being ‘very cool under fire’. Bryan is sought after for his tactical and strategic skill, as well as for the doggedness with which he fights for his clients. His cases are invariably complex and high value, and require the incisive approach that he brings to them. 

Bryan is ranked in the leading legal and high-net-worth directories, with one source enthusing that he is ‘extremely bright’, continuing that he ‘brings a worldliness to his intelligence as well’, while another comments that he is ‘hard working and extraordinarily diligent... so thorough, client-friendly and goes above and beyond’. He is further praised for being ‘extremely numerate’ and for coming up with great solutions to problems by thinking outside the box. 

Bryan is always prepared for anything, with clients valuing his diligence. He always fights every corner to achieve the best possible outcome, leaving no stone unturned. 

Outside of the office, Bryan’s interests are cricket, travelling and cycling.
