Career

Rebecca’s practice covers all aspects of divorce, financial remedies and the law relating to children, including international relocations. She also has experience of running complex litigation in The Business and Property Courts involving conduct, dishonesty and fraud between a husband and wife. She over 25 years of experience as a family lawyer and is ranked as a Hall of Fame family lawyer by the Legal 500, who described her as, “a person that you want leading your team”.

Rebecca represents entrepreneurs, professionals and homemakers and relishes the intellectual challenges that come with having a wide ranging and diverse practice. She also acts for figures in the public eye, including media and film, and is regularly instructed in City-based divorces (hedge funds, leading investment banks and magic circle law firms) whilst also skilled in the fight for wives left at the raw end of decisions taken during the marriage.

Her no-nonsense approach, dedication and kindness keeps Rebecca’s clients focused on the fundamentals of a case and ensures an outcome which they thought unattainable at the commencement of proceedings, on both an emotional and financial level. She is adept at resolving matters privately and away from the spotlight of the court and press.
