Born and bred in Northamptonshire, Rachel attended the University of Liverpool, where she obtained a law degree in 1993. After travelling the world for two years, she returned to take the Legal Practice Course at The College of Law in York, before completing her training contract in Nottingham at Freeth Cartwright, one of the best known litigation firms in the Midlands. She moved back to the area in 1999, working for two well established local firms, Tollers and Wilson Browne, before joining Max Engel in February 2005.

As a qualified solicitor, Rachel has specialised in litigation from the outset. She has handled a wide range of cases, many of significant value and complexity. She now concentrates primarily on commercial disputes, acting for companies of all shapes and sizes. She also deals with contentious probate matters, professional negligence claims, and disputes concerning land.

Rachel is well grounded in all forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution, and in litigation procedures in the County Courts and the High Court. She understands the importance of thinking laterally to try to resolve a dispute, and of focusing on the most cost effective way of achieving a client’s objective, whether or not that involves proceeding to Court.

Rachel is married to Christopher – another lawyer – and divides her time between their homes in Northampton and the Cotswolds.
