“Allana Henderson brings compassion, clarity and thoughtful guidance to families navigating some of life’s most challenging transitions.

Through her professionalism, empathy and growing expertise, Allana is building a reputation as a trusted adviser committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those she represents.”

Allana Henderson is a Senior Solicitor in the Family Law team at Jones Whyte. She advises clients on a range of family law matters, helping individuals and families through relationship breakdowns with clear, practical advice and genuine empathy.

Having joined Jones Whyte in 2022 to begin her legal traineeship, Allana developed valuable litigation experience before moving into family law, where she now focuses primarily on separation and child contact matters.

What Allana Henderson Does

Allana advises clients across a range of family law issues, including:

• Separation and relationship breakdown
• Child contact arrangements
• Family law negotiations
• Child-focused legal advice
• Family dispute resolution

She works closely with clients to explain their legal options in straightforward language, helping them make informed decisions while guiding them through what is often an emotionally challenging period.

Why She Stands Out

Allana chose to specialise in family law because of her desire to support people through some of the most important and difficult moments in their lives. She is known for her approachable manner, attention to detail and commitment to understanding each client’s individual circumstances.

Her earlier experience working on personal injury and medical negligence claims within Jones Whyte’s Litigation team has given her strong case management and advocacy skills, which she now brings to her family law practice.

Supporting Children and Families

Alongside her legal practice, Allana serves as a volunteer panel member with Children’s Hearings Scotland. In this important public role, she helps make legal decisions affecting infants, children and young people across local communities in Scotland.

This experience gives her valuable insight into child-centred decision-making and reinforces her commitment to protecting the interests and wellbeing of children in family law cases.

Professional Background

Allana graduated with an LLB (Hons) from the University of Strathclyde before completing her Diploma in Professional Legal Practice at the same university. She joined Jones Whyte in 2022, beginning her legal career within the firm’s Litigation department before moving into Family Law, where she has continued to develop her expertise.
