Ribet Myles

Julian heads the specialist family boutique, Ribet Myles which was recently voted “Financial Remedies Team of the Year” at the LexisNexis Family Law Awards.

In a career spanning more than 25 years, Julian is particularly known for his work in cutting edge family disputes.  He emerged as a family law star early in his career, acting in the landmark House of Lords case of Miller v. Miller; McFarlane v. McFarlane which updated the law to reflect the realities of modern life, wealth and family dynamics and established legal principles that are still relied upon today when dividing assets on divorce.

From that groundbreaking start, he has consistently led the field in cases that chart new legal territory in response to changing times.

Julian is regularly instructed in complex, high-value cases, often acting for high-profile individuals or their spouses or partners, concerning significant assets and income, usually with an international dimension and often involving forum disputes, asset tracing, the unravelling of complicated financial issues, dealing with inherited wealth, business assets, companies, tax, pensions and intricate corporate and offshore trust structures.

He also has significant expertise in negotiating domestic and international pre- and post-nuptial agreements and international relocation cases.

As co-founder and name partner, Julian’s distinctive blend of incisive legal thinking, dedication, diligence and determination, combined with empathy in client care, permeates the firm and is reflected in its core values.

He is a fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers, an accolade awarded to only a small number of individuals who are recognised as worldwide leaders in the field of family law.

He is a Resolution-accredited specialist for complicated cases and emergency remedies (injunctions) and also a Resolution-trained ‘all-issues’ mediator, as well as a member of The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators since 2014 and a member of The Association of Lawyers for Children.

Julian has a conscientious approach and aims to provide a cost effective service of the highest quality whilst acting with sensitivity, empathy and discretion.
