A South West-based legal firm has announced a new partnership with a divorce coach.

Amicus Law, which has a branch in Martock, has teamed up with Claire Macklin, who is also a published author.

Ms Macklin, a former solicitor and master NLP practitioner, will work with Amicus Law’s family team to provide individuals and couples with emotional and practical support during divorce.

Lauren Preedy, partner and family solicitor at Amicus Law, said: "As a trained and accredited Resolution Together collaborative practitioner, my aim is to help couples navigate divorce with as little conflict as possible.

"Many of the people we work with need emotional guidance alongside legal advice, and when that support is handled effectively, it can greatly enhance collaborative law settlements.

"This partnership is a natural step forward for our team.

"Claire is widely respected in the sector and brings real expertise in helping individuals manage the personal challenges that come with separating lives and dividing assets during what is inevitably a sensitive period."

Ms Macklin’s services will include personalised coaching and support designed to help clients manage the emotional challenges of separation alongside the legal process.

Her advice will also be featured in regular posts on the Amicus Insights blog.

Ms Macklin said: "I’m delighted to be working alongside the team at Amicus Law.

"Divorce and separation are not just legal processes - they are deeply personal journeys that affect every aspect of someone’s life.

"By combining emotional support with expert legal guidance, we can help clients feel more confident and less overwhelmed as they make crucial decisions about their future.

"Our goal is to create a space where people feel truly supported, not just in resolving legal matters, but in navigating the personal impact of this transition.

"This partnership ensures clients aren’t facing these challenges alone, and that every step is handled with care, understanding and professionalism."

Ms Preedy and the wider Amicus Law family team are accredited Resolution Together practitioners, committed to a non-confrontational and constructive approach to family law in line with Resolution’s code of practice.

Amicus Law offers confidential family law consultations from all 10 of its regional offices across the South West, with access to Ms Macklin’s divorce coaching services.
