About
Provided by Jane Mitchell
Practice Areas
Jane is a partner specialising in family law, particularly in more complex financial cases and difficult disputes concerning arrangements for children, in both married and unmarried cases. She regularly receives referrals from professional colleagues abroad and has an increasing international element to her practice.
With more than 30 years' experience, first in London with Manches' highly regarded family department and then in Oxford, she is widely lauded as a leading family law practitioner in the Thames Valley. Clients cite her as ‘a lawyer that is head and shoulders above her peers. Jane displays a good manner and charm both of which appear to shield a real steel core.’
In 2015 she became the first lawyer in Oxford and the Thames Valley to be awarded a fellowship of the IAFL, the worldwide association recognising expert family lawyers in their respective countries; only a small number of UK family law specialists outside London are members.
