"Rachel doesn't put a foot wrong. She is excellent - her preparation and written work are very strong, and her cross-examination is very fluid."

"Rachel is an impressive and eloquent advocate."

The Legal 500 2024

'Rachel's advocacy is excellent, and her cross-examination is fluent, flexible and with a coherent structure. She has mastery of the papers and manages to extract a lot of useful evidence from clients. Her closing submissions (both written and oral) are forceful and convincing, and she has an excellent grasp of the law and a keen turn of phrase. A formidable opponent for one so junior - her ability sits far above her years of call.'
