What can I do for you

Rachel qualified in September 2015 and is a principal associate in our private client team. She helps clients with their estate planning, especially preserving wealth for future generations. Rachel advises clients on their wills, tax, succession planning, lifetime giving, lasting powers of attorney and philanthropy. Rachel is experienced in complex trust matters and advising trustees. She also spends a small portion of her time advising on domestic probate cases and administration of estates.

Supporting your ambitions

Rachel works closely with clients to build long term and trusting relationships. Rachel regularly advises multiple generations of the same family to help to achieve an overall plan for the family wealth.

Recently, Rachel has advised a number of clients on restructuring their affairs, whether this has been following the sale of the family business, assets being gifted down the generations or reviewing and amending sometimes complex trust structures.

Rachel aims to support individuals and families to manage their succession planning in a tax efficient and efficient and protective way, whilst ensuring their own needs and wishes are met.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
