About Jay Faergemann
Jay is a Solicitor in the Family Law team. Jay gained valuable experience in family law during his training contract at a firm in Devon, within which he spent a year working within the Family Law sector. During this time, he conducted and worked on files focusing on divorce, matrimonial matters and child arrangements, as well as non-marital separation.
Upon completing his training contract in June 2023, Jay moved to London and began working as a newly-qualified solicitor in North-West London specialising in Family Law. During his time there, the firm was incorporated by a larger law firm in the same area. Across his time at both firms, Jay ran his own full case-load spanning across nearly all sectors of private family law, including but not limited to divorce, matrimonial finances, child arrangements and injunction applications.
Jay joined the Hodge Jones and Allen team in June 2026 as a solicitor within the Family Department.
Jay’s practice areas cover child arrangement orders (orders concerning who a child will live with, who a child will spend time with, orders concerning specific issues such as which school a child will attend, orders to prohibit action by the other parent such as removal from the country and applications to remove a child from a jurisdiction to live in a different country. Jay is able to advice and conduct child arrangement cases both outside of the Court arena or within such during contested Court proceedings. Furthermore, Jay has experience in assisting clients seek enforcement orders in relation to Court orders that are not being adhered to by one of the parties.
Jay also has a plethora of experience in dealing with and conducting matrimonial finance cases, again both in and outside of the Court arena. Jay has helped guide clients through their divorce proceedings and the financial matters that arise from such, helping them reach settlements on a voluntary basis without the need for Court proceedings. However, Jay has also successfully steered clients through Court proceedings when they have been required, resulting in positive outcomes.
Jay additionally has experience in advising clients, both in the position of applicant and respondent, in respect of injunction applications, such as non-molestation orders and occupation orders. Jay is committed to achieving the best outcome for the client, whether by seeking an order or pursuing a swift conclusion to the Court proceedings via agreement.
Jay’s work style is wholly client-focused. His number one priority is the client’s best interests. Whilst always seeking the best possible legal outcome for his clients, Jay also brings an empathetic and personal approach to his work, ensuring that his client’s feel completely listened to through the duration of their matter.
