Get to know Jenniffer
I'm a CILEX Fellow (FCILEX) having qualified at John Moores University in 2004. I'm qualified in Family Law Mediation and am a Qualified Collaborative Lawyer. I joined Slater and Gordon in 2022 and I currently head up the family team's Wirral and Liverpool offices.
As an experienced family law and divorce specialist, I’ve handled a multitude of different cases during my career. These have included disputes arising from marriage and relationship breakdown, such as divorce, financial relief, cohabitation disputes, child arrangements, dissolutions of civil partnerships and also nuptial agreements.
In April 2023 I booked a 30 minute appointment with Slater and Gordon, related to the financial agreement in the divorce i was going through, I was given an appointment with Jenniffer Brunt who was well informed about my specific financial and pension circumstances. She was honest and 'forthright' in her responses. While I didn't particularly like her answers, they were based on legal precedent, so while it was not the answer I wanted, it did provide me with the guidance I required to begin to solve the problem identified, which were eventually resolved because of her thorough advice. best £90+ (April 2023 price) I spent during the whole process.
Jenniffer Brunt, Sue Baldwin and anyone else who is part of the Slater and Gordon team. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I have dealt with Slater and Gordon professionally for over 20 years with no issues whatsoever. I've finally needed them personally and they have been fantastic. I don't have enough superlatives to show my appreciation. A hard year made easier by having them on my side. A heartfelt thank you.
Couldn't recommend Jenniffer Brunt (principal lawyers) enough for helping me though a difficult divorce. Thanks also to Sue Baldwin (legal assistant).
Very polite, thoughtful and helpful advice in a very difficult emotional time.
Great experience - very friendly, professional and knowledgeable team! Highly recommend.
I had a meeting with Jenniffer Brunt which was excellent and informative. She answered most of my questions satisfactorily. She was referred to me by my relatives.
Client testimonial for Jenniffer Brunt
Huge thanks for your support and guidance, I would recommend your services.
Jenniffer was super helpful
Just to say thank you for everything, you and your team have been amazing and with the confidence I had in you relieve me of so much stress and anguish, I'm truly grateful for everything you have done and so glad Jammie recommended you to me.
Jenniffer was very helpful in explaining the law surrounding my situation and answering my questions. Whilst it was not everything I wanted to hear she was open and honest with me about what to expect which I really appreciated.
From the outset, the contact I had was great. Everyone I had need to contact was very professional and I was kept updated throughout. If people were absent someone was put in place to answer my queries. I cannot fault the service I received. Whilst going through a divorce was never something I wanted, it made the whole process that much easier.
Career highlights
I've previously dealt with cases involving assets in excess of £100 million – which involved off shore complicated Family Trusts. The cases were dealt with at the High Court due to complexity and QCs instructed by both parties.
I've also in the past dealt with a number of High Court public law children cases again involving QCs.
My most recent complicated case – with assets in excess of £10 million – again resulted in the instruction of KCs (Kings counsel).
I have regularly appeared on local radios to discuss relevant issues. I am also a member of Resolution, a national organisation of Family Lawyers committed to the constructive resolution of Family Law disputes.
