Rachel joined the firm as a trainee in 1993. She now specialises in divorce, child related issues and finances - particularly those with an agricultural aspect. Rachel is from a farming background and is actively involved in the running of her husband's dairy farm, so has first hand experience of the day-to-day issues faced by farmers and agricultural contractors.

Rachel understands the unique situation of divorce on a farm, and is sensitive to the pressures this places on the whole family, particularly with regards to children. Rachel's first language is welsh, and she has conducted a number of hearings in the welsh language.

Rachel is one of a handful of solicitors in the area trained in collaborative law and is a member of Resolution.
