Individual Editorial
Rachel Gillman is a private and public law barrister with a strong market reputation. She frequently appears in children proceedings involving the most serious allegations of sexual abuse and murder. Gillman is further skilled at representing parents in international child abduction cases.
Strengths
Rachel is technically able and strong in facing up to opponents.
Very good in care proceedings and, particularly, with fact finding hearings. She is great at assisting clients who have a slim chance of success.
She provided an unmatched service for my client. She worked with her gently to ensure that her views were heard but also provided practical advice which the client appreciated.
Even when faced with a case where the evidence can be stacked against her, she impresses with her drive to do the best by the client.
She is simply brilliant. Alongside that, she is a kind and compassionate person. Her ability to think outside the box is impressive.
