She delivers pragmatic advice to employers across a broad spectrum of workplace issues and supports clients through all stages of the Employment Tribunal process.

Her expertise covers company policies, settlement agreements, investigations, capability, disciplinary and grievance matters, redundancy and restructuring programmes, and TUPE transfers. Recent work includes advising an FMCG logistics client on the employment aspects of a major acquisition, resulting in the creation of a £2.2bn turnover business.
Rebecca also advises on cross-border employment matters, coordinating multi-jurisdictional advice on both stand-alone issues and large-scale international projects. She regularly delivers tailored client training, both in-house and on public courses, focusing on legislative updates, case law developments, and strategies to minimise litigation risk.
