Commercial Partner & Head of Freeths' Virtual Legal Team | Oxford

“We have been working with Rebecca and her team on various projects which either required immediate action or had very tight timeframes and none of them were straightforward. One thing was consistent in all cases, Rebecca, and her team were knowledgeable, accurate in their approach, business oriented, ready to exchange views and to guide and support us to reach our goal. I cannot recommend Rebecca strongly enough.”
