Published: Friday, May 18, 2012

The Lawyer Network is delighted to announce that Rachel Harrap of Edwin Coe LLP has joined the Lawyer Network. Rachel has joined the Lawyer Network as our exclusive Employment member in the UK

Rachel is head of the Employment Law Team. She qualified as a Solicitor in 1980 and spent 7 years as an Assistant Solicitor with Wilde Sapte and Simmons & Simmons before joining Fox & Gibbons where she was made a Partner in 1989. At Fox & Gibbons Rachel was head of employment and insolvency services. Rachel joined Edwin Coe as a Partner in 1998 to bring together Edwin Coe's employment expertise within a dedicated Employment Law Team dealing with all aspects of employment law.

Rachel's clients include international public and private companies, charitable organisations, senior executives and insolvency practitioners. Working in close connection with the firm's Corporate and Commercial Team, Rachel advises on employee issues arising from mergers and acquisitions and corporate re-organisations. Rachel also works with insolvency practitioners providing advice on dealing with employees of insolvent companies. Rachel represents clients in Employment Tribunals in respect of statutory and breach of contract claims and in the High Court dealing particularly with the enforcement of post-termination and confidentiality obligations.

Rachel is a member of the Law Society, the Gibraltar Bar, the Employment Lawyers Association and Association of Business Recovery Professionals.

Edwin Coe LLP is a commercial law firm based in the heart of London's historic legal district in Lincoln's Inn. Founded in 1913, we have grown from our litigation origins to become a thriving and modern practice, providing a comprehensive range of legal services to meet the needs of a wide variety of businesses, individuals and organisations based throughout the UK and overseas.

Our collegiate approach provides clients with efficiency and cross-disciplinary support where necessary to ensure that their needs and objectives are fully supported and met in a cost-effective manner. Legal advice is led by partners whose experience and expertise means that they are able to get to the heart of matters quickly and to come up with insightful, practical and commercial solutions in the shortest possible time frame. For most clients this is preferable and more cost-effective than if work is carried out by junior lawyers, however, we discuss this on an individual basis with clients to ensure the most suitable arrangements for them. Clients regularly rate us as "excellent" in terms of efficiency, understanding their business needs, and keeping them informed of progress and developments.

Many of our partners are involved at a high level in professional bodies and associations, or are contributors and authors of established legal texts. This gives us an invaluable practitioner’s standpoint and means that we are well placed to assist clients with forward-planning, helping them to avoid many legal problems altogether.

If you have a requirement in this area, please get in touch with Rachel directly or with the Lawyer Network committee:
