Jayne joins the team at AmicusLaw

ONE of the West Country’s leading specialists in family law has joined Yeovil solicitors AmicusLaw.

Jayne Turner has joined as a partner and the head of AmicusLaws’ family law department.

Jayne qualified as a solicitor in 1995 and has over 18 years of experience in all areas of family law with a particular emphasis on financial settlements for people who are divorcing or going through a relationship breakdown.

Before joining Amicus, Jayne was a partner at a top tier Legal 500 Family Law practice in Exeter followed by a spell as partner and divorce specialist at a large West Country practice. 

She specialises in more complex cases including those where there are family businesses involved and frequently acts for business people, farmers, professionals, members of the Armed Forces and ex-pats.

Jayne has gained Resolution Accreditation as a Specialist in Advanced Financial Provision on divorce and is one of only a handful of lawyers in Somerset and Devon who have been awarded the Specialist Accreditation for being an expert at dealing with the complexities of pensions on divorce. She is also an Advanced Member of the Law Society’s Family Law Panel.

Jayne added: “This is an exciting move for me. I have been overwhelmed by the professional and yet friendly approach from everyone at AmicusLaw and am looking forward to helping drive an already successful law firm to even greater heights.”

Jayne supports and protects her client’s interests throughout what can be a very stressful process. 

She has a straightforward no-nonsense approach and, as a qualified collaborative lawyer, works hard to reach an amicable settlement. 

However, she also recognises the important balance between out of court negotiations and proceedings and is not afraid to fight her client’s corner when necessary.
