Rachel Baker

Rachel accepts instructions across a range of civil, Court of Protection and Public Law matters.

Rachel has a deserved reputation for her friendly but professional and thorough approach as well as her excellent client care and the ability to put even the most nervous and vulnerable of litigants and witnesses at ease.

With her extensive experience in a range of courts and tribunals and having previously practised at the criminal bar, Rachel has strong advocacy skills as well as the attention to detail and analytical skills required in her paperwork practice.

Rachel returned to the Bar in 2016 after a long absence, during which time she worked in-house, ran a business and also had a career break with her family.

Rachel spent some years as a Trustee of a local educational charity as well as Governor of a local primary school with a large number of children on the SEN register.

Her wide range of life experience away from the Bar informs and complements Rachel’s legal practice and approach and is highly valued by solicitors and clients alike.

Rachel is also an Associate Lecturer of Law, a pupil supervisor and provides training and seminars to solicitors and professional clients.  In her spare time she enjoys open water swimming, skiing and live music and theatre.
