oe 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:

Together with his legal expertise and knowledge, Joe is recognised for his outstanding client care and emotional intelligence.

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.

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.
