She has extensive experience working with agricultural and business clients on continuity and succession planning.

Rebecca is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and is a Lifetime Lawyer – a member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers which supports vulnerable and older people.

Rebecca said:

“Burnetts has an incredible reputation for its Agri and Estates work so I’m excited to join the team and further strengthen that offering. It’s wonderful to be part of a firm that has its true roots in Cumbria.”

Mike Nicholls, Co-Head of our Agri and Estates team said:

“Rebecca is a talented lawyer with valuable experience working with agricultural clients, making her an ideal addition for our growing team. Our people all have a genuine and in-depth knowledge of the agricultural sector – many of them are from a farming background themselves – so Rebecca’s specialisms in this sector make her a great fit for us.”
