Principal Associate

What can I do for you

Jane deals with a wide variety of work for owners of rural land and agribusinesses. Her clients include Oxbridge Colleges, other institutional investors, such as The Wellcome Trust, and private landowners. Jane’s particular specialisms include advising on development arrangements such as promotion agreements, land pooling and overage, renewable energy, and tenancy restructuring.

Supporting your ambitions

Jane was recently part of a team which acted for Farmcare Trading Limited in the restructuring of its business from operational farming to a variety of joint venture arrangements. This interesting and exciting project involved the creation of several bespoke contract farming arrangements as well as corporate, employment and commercial advice. The lawyers worked closely with the client’s team and other professionals and delivered an ambitious project within our client’s target timescale, showcasing the breadth and depth of expertise Mills & Reeve is able to bring to complex rural transactions.

What do others say

A client care interview with a major agribusiness client reported: “Everyone is complimentary about Jane.  She has done a great job and there is no criticism at any level.  She pulled out all the stops.  Everyone has great confidence and everyone loves her.”

What else should you know

Jane has a particular interest in education and is the chair of governors at a large state primary school. Jane is very proud of having helped to transform the school from a traditional village primary to a school with two campuses in different villages and a distinctive inclusive ethos.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
