Rebecca is a partner in the Real Estate Disputes Group with over 15 years’ experience of complex high value disputes and managing litigation at all levels of the UK court system including the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

She advises the full spectrum of Real Estate sector clients, including investors, developers, landlords and institutional tenants on a range of property issues covering lease disputes; sale and purchase disputes; property related insolvency claims; and telecoms disputes. She also provides strategic advice to clients looking to undertake major redevelopment projects.

The 2025 editions described Rebecca as “a tenacious and technical lawyer”, “always quick to respond, positive and creative. She sees situations clearly and is never afraid to “grasp the nettle” in difficult circumstances” and “[she has] exceptional attention to detail, energy and determination always produces swift and successful results."

In November 2024, Rebecca was elected as the Chair of the Property Litigation Association, the professional body that represents over 1,700 property litigators across the UK and Ireland. In 2023, she was appointed as a member of the Real Estate Balance Policy and Campaigns Committee.

Are you ready for Martyn’s Law?

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025 and is expected to be implemented within the next 24 months.
