Rachel is an associate in the Dispute Resolution department of Fox Williams LLP.  

Rachel graduated from the University of Durham with an honours degree in 2001. Having spent a couple of years working for a leading legal recruitment consultancy she completed the LPC at BPP Law School London obtaining a Distinction and the highest mark in her year for Litigation.

She works closely with members of the Commerce & Technology department, advising both principals and agents in many different fields on agency law and in particular the effect of the Commercial Agents Regulations. 

Recent cases include:

·  advising a principal, which had terminated its agent on the grounds of a conflict of interest;

·  assisting on the assessment of compensation under Regulation 17 following the decision of the House of Lords in Lonsdale v Howard & Hallam; and

·  advising a principal as to the assessment of the amount of indemnity payable to an agent under Regulation 17.

Rachel appreciates that becoming a party to proceedings can be incredibly stressful and frustrating and that the cost in management time to a business dealing with litigation can be more expensive commercially than the legal costs incurred.  Therefore, she seeks to offer practical and pragmatic advice, in order to make the process as painless as possible.  Clients have commended Rachel for a “job well done” and “all the work that she has put in on their behalf”.

From a personal view

Outside of the office Rachel enjoys jogging along the riverside, socialising with friends and getting out of London to the real Great Outdoors as often as is possible.
