Her cases often involve additional elements such as discrimination, harassment and defamation.

In addition, Rachel’s claims relate to Property, Land and Estates, often arising in relation to an initial probate, trust or Court of Protection dispute, and she has experience of acting in complex litigation. She is adept at identifying imaginative and novel solutions to her cases, including seeking equitable or practical remedies, and by enterprising use of Civil Procedure.
