Following her admission to the bar in 2006, Rachael worked in the litigation department of a leading national law firm for two years (Bell Gully). She went on to work with a senior barrister for four years on a range of serious criminal and regulatory proceedings.
Rachael’s regulatory experience has included investigations and prosecutions by the Financial Markets Authority, the Commerce Commission, the Ministry for Primary Industries and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, as well as prosecutions on behalf of WorkSafe New Zealand.
Before joining Richmond Chambers in June 2019, Rachael spent five years at a boutique insurance law firm (Robertsons), where her focus was predominantly on professional indemnity matters, including both civil and disciplinary proceedings for solicitors, accountants, real estate agents, financial advisers and engineers.
