Jonathan Eager FCILEx

Senior associate

A senior associate chartered legal executive, I have worked in the family law team at Willans for over a decade.

I help my clients with all areas of family law that may be encountered when either a relationship with another person starts, or through the maze and haze following the breakdown of an existing relationship.

I am recommended by national legal guides, The Legal 500 and Chambers UK.

Key skills

I can help you with:

  • advice on and preparation of pre-nuptial/post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation or civil partnership agreements
  • advice and representation on all areas of divorce, including financial and children matters
  • advice and representation following the breakdown of cohabitation with another person.

Experience highlights

I am experienced in:

  • helping clients with all areas of family law, in a collaborative, client-focused way
