Director of Finance

Rachel has over 35 years’ experience working in both a legal and accounting capacity. As the Director of Finance, Rachel provides all of Travlaw and Techlaw’s financial functions. Not only is she efficient, thorough, approachable, reliable and practical but this all comes with a cheerful, fun loving and bright persona….there’s never a dull moment in the office when she is in! Rachel prides herself on her financial management skills and her attention to detail; both crucial assets to her role.

On the serious side, the Accounts Rules of the Solicitors Regulatory Authority impose stringent standards on how solicitors handle clients’ money. These are constantly evolving and Rachel ensures that we are complying with changes and implementing them correctly within the firm. Rachel is also our Compliance Officer for Financial Affairs (COFA). This role carries considerable responsibility to monitor, review, record and report risks concerning compliance directly to the SRA.

Although Rachel has lived most of her life here, she was born in Melbourne. She is a seasoned traveller having visited five out of seven continents. One day she is planning to return to Melbourne to enjoy a well-earned retirement in the sun!
