Meet Associate Solicitor Rebecca Lee, from our Wills and Probate department based at our Leicester office. Getting into law was sparked by family influences and the stories she heard. Here, she shares a look at her career so far, from standout achievements to the hobbies and causes that mean the most to her.

Rothera Bray has advised KYMM Ltd, trading as Sprog, on its first commercial property transaction, securing premises for a new children’s indoor play, retail and café destination at Wellington Place Local Centre in Market Harborough.

Recent reports have reignited debate over whether a public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in the UK should take place, following apparently conflicting messages from the Government on the issue. The developments have prompted renewed calls for transparency, accountability and answers for survivors.

Many employees reach a point where the working relationship has broken down and staying feels impossible. In the right circumstances, you may be able to ask for a settlement agreement and negotiate a clean exit.
