Ellie Hampson-Jones

Spear’s Review

Ellie Hampson-Jones is conscious of the emotional complexity her cases involve. Despite the challenges the divorce landscape can bring, ‘the aim is to always help clients look forward to a brighter future,’ she says. This requires her to find creative solutions, so her clients stay on the right track, ‘even when the temptation is to do otherwise’.

Formerly an associate at Penningtons Manches Cooper, Hampson-Jones enjoys the ‘varied and high-tempo cases’ that Stewarts is known for handling, ranging from multi-jurisdiction, highly complex cases with assets in excess of £100 million for UHNW individuals, to cases involving clients dealing with financial and welfare proceedings. She works from the firm’s Leeds office, providing ‘true London quality’ at the firm’s northern outpost.
