Biography
I’m part of the contentious probate team at Irwin Mitchell which specialises in representing people in cases concerning will, trust and estate disputes. We aim to resolve every case quickly and sensitively with a successful conclusion.
What inspired you to get into law?
The desire to help people while solving problems.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
Our cases arise while people are grieving and it makes an already emotional time even more testing. I particularly love being able to resolve that conflict which then helps clients to move on from an especially difficult time.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
This is a complex area of law and there is a wealth of knowledge with a experience across the teams and everyone is so ready to help you at any level and there is such a team and community spirit.
What do you do away from the office?
I am currently in the process of renovating a house which monopolises much of my time away from the office, though I still manage to find the time to get away and explore new places around the world to satisfy my bug for travelling.
Testimonials
"Rachael Williams and her team did an amazing job and I ended up with a result I wasn’t expecting from a settlement meeting without having to proceed to trial. Rachael and her team were very easy to deal with and gave prompt replies (even though I live overseas). I would highly recommend them." - 5* Trustpilot review
"My Brother and I were very fortunate to find Irwin Mitchell Solicitors (after a less satisfactory start with another company). Our Case concerns Inheritance and Blended Families and Wills - quite complex and many different angles and scenarios due to dishonest step siblings. Both Heather Roberts & Rachael Williams have been outstanding, offering a 'human' business relationship, empathetic, strong sense of Customer Care in a very challenging and toxic situation.
"Comparing to the other company, I found Irwin Mitchell did their job, took a lot of pressure off my shoulders and not forever bombarding with questions/documents, once they had the information they needed. As I was Caring for my Mum full time, this was very much appreciated. Would 100% recommend Heather & Rachael plus Irwin Mitchell to anyone - Top Class service." - 5* Trustpilot review
