About Rachael

Rachael is a dedicated child care solicitor who joined Robertsons in 2024 to strengthen the firm’s Child Care Law department. She studied at the University of Law and qualified as a solicitor in 2019, having established herself as an accomplished practitioner in child care law before joining the firm.

Rachael has a genuine passion for advocating for the welfare of children and families, and specialises in navigating the complex legal landscape of public law children work. She represents children, parents and family members in care proceedings, bringing both technical skill and real compassion to cases that are often deeply sensitive.

Her practice includes some of the most complex and demanding work in this field. Rachael was part of the Robertsons team — working alongside Director Ian Williams — that represented a child through their court-appointed Children’s Guardian in a profoundly sensitive reported case concerning the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, instructing leading counsel and working with highly specialised expert medical evidence.
