Managing Partner

“The people that work here are at the heart of it. If we weren’t such hard working professionals, who didn’t have such solid relationships both with each other as well as with clients and business partners, I don’t think we’d be the firm we are today.”

Rivka is a founding partner of Travlaw, having set up the firm in 2003 with Stephen Mason. Rivka is wholly devoted to advising the travel and leisure industry and offers a modern dynamic and forward thinking approach to legal services and client care.

Rivka has been in travel all her career, and her experience embodies the firm’s practical ethos.

During her career, Rivka has dealt with high profile personal injury claims, Court of Appeal cases, illness outbreaks, catastrophic injuries and cross border litigation. She has excellent judgment regarding which claims to fight and is not afraid to pursue difficult defences where appropriate. Rivka notably acted on Arfilli v Starwood Hotels establishing that the American corporation was responsible for failings in hotels using its brands even though the hotels were separately owned.

Rivka now takes on the role of Managing Partner, dealing with finance, business development, recruitment and managing and marketing the firm. She continues to enjoy an enviable relationship with her clients. She is 100% committed to the firm and dedicated to seeing it expand and develop without losing its individuality and “professional yet approachable ethos”.

Aside from her work with Travlaw, Rivka is a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist!
