We are delighted to announce that Rachel Turner has joined the equity partnership at Miles & Partners Solicitors in the City of London.

Rachel, who is joint head of our Mental Health and Capacity department, joined the firm in 2012 and was appointed a partner in 2016.

Rachel has been a longstanding member of the Law Society’s Mental Health Accreditation Scheme and has recently become an Accredited Legal Representative in the Court of Protection for mental capacity (welfare) law.
