Biography
Joe joined the family team at Myerson in September 2024 as an Associate.
Joe has experience in all areas of family law matters, with particular expertise in high-net worth financial remedy and children cases, including those with international elements.
He advises clients on a wide range of family law matters, including but not limited to:
- Divorce and financial settlements, including advice in respect of spousal maintenance, third-party intervenor claims, pensions and business assets;
- Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and their enforceability upon separation and divorce;
- Issues involving the arrangements for children, including advice in relation to applications for internal and international relocation;
- Non-molestation and occupation orders;
- Cohabitation agreements; and
- Surrogacy and Parental Orders
Together with his legal expertise and knowledge, Joe is recognised for his outstanding client care and emotional intelligence. He is conscious that there is no one-size fits all approach to family law, offering bespoke and pragmatic advice to each client’s requirements, supporting clients to ensure that any issue is handled with the upmost care and attention.
Often supporting high profile clients, Joe does so with the utmost sensitivity and discretion, looking to ensure that the personal matters which underlie his instruction stay out of the public spotlight. Joe’s dedication to his clients and field of work were notably celebrated when he was nominated for Lawyer of the Year at the 2024 Made in Manchester Awards.
He is a member of Resolution and promotes a constructive approach to family issues considering, in particular, the needs and best interests of any children.
Joe’s thought leadership on family law issues have been featured in an array of publications, including Barrister Magazine, ThoughtLeaders 4 HNW Divorce Magazine and LexisPSL. Joe also has a legal Instagram (@JoeFergusonSolicitor) which he uses to discuss family law.
When not working, he is a member of the Manchester Young Professionals Committee, organising network events for business professionals throughout Greater Manchester.
