Rachel Quickenden

Rachel is adept in advising clients accused of conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to cheat the Revenue, theft and money laundering, and many of her cases have an international element. She has years of experience acting for clients who are the subject of restraint orders and confiscation orders to the value of tens of millions. 

 

Rachel has extensive experience acting for clients at interview stage, including interviews with the police, SFO, DOJ, regulators and employers as part of internal investigations. She is strategic from the outset, having regard to both the short-term and long-term implications of investigation, and strives to obtain the best possible result for her clients as early as possible. Rachel is also experienced in advising witnesses who are the subject of section 2 interviews and compulsorily required to attend for interview. 

 

Rachel has worked on regulatory matters involving the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Air Accidents Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Many of her clients have faced multi-faceted investigations, sometimes spanning internal employment matters, regulatory and criminal investigations. Where appropriate, she works collaboratively alongside other lawyers and experts to ensure that her clients receive the best advice, from every perspective. 

​

Having qualified as a police station representative early on in her career, Rachel has acted for clients facing a vast range of allegations; from assault to theft, drugs offences to sexual offences. She understands both the emotional impact and the potential for collateral damage as a result of such an allegation, and thus gives consideration to wider implications facing such individuals and/or corporations.
