Rachel is a very experienced family law solicitor with Woolley and Co – a firm that is rated exceptionally highly by their clients. She has a career spanning three decades, qualifying as a solicitor in 1995. She has since held senior roles across several prominent firms, including a commercial practice in Staffordshire, where she led the family law department, a commercial law firm in Liverpool as a partner, and a well-regarded niche family law practice in Milton Keynes – all Legal 500 firms.

Rachel brings a pragmatic, approachable, and solutions-focused angle to every case. She has extensive experience in all areas of family law, including complex financial, high-asset divorces; children matters, working to achieve child-centred solutions that respect each family’s unique dynamics; and cohabitation disputes, providing knowledgeable advice and support.

Rachel is committed to resolving family disputes with a constructive and sensitive approach. Her work as a trained mediator has equipped her with unique skills to help clients in many ways, including ensuring that they feel that they are being heard. She says, “Dealing with a case collaboratively is such a civilised way to resolve issues arising from divorce and separation, whilst helping to reduce mistrust and any ‘Chinese whispers’ effect that can all too easily build up. Everyone works together to ensure transparency and understanding in order to reach a sensible and fair outcome with much reduced stress compared to court proceedings”.
