Spear’s Review

Described as possessing a ‘problem-solving approach’, Rachel Buckley, joint managing director of The Family Law Company, advises high-net-worth clients in the south west of England on matters relating to the financial aspects of relationship breakdown, particularly those pertaining to separation agreements. 

She also draws up pre-nuptial agreements, helping many clients through the process of organising assets and liabilities before a marriage, including situations in which one party stands to potentially inherit a substantial amount. 

Buckley, who also heads the firm’s divorce and finance team, has particular experience in cases involving members of the armed forces, and police and fire service.

Adviser Profile

Rachel Buckley is an experienced high-net-worth divorce and finance solicitor and collaborative lawyer. She is Resolution Together qualified (one lawyer, two client model), showcasing her commitment to providing divorcing HNW couples with effective, dignified ways of separating. Determined to offer clients a different approach, she is part of the driving force behind The Family Law Company’s culture and award-winning client experience.

Acting for clients across the UK, Rachel specialises in highly complex and high-value divorce and finance matters. She also supports clients through complex civil partnership dissolution. Her cases often involve complex pension assets, trust implications, business interests and substantial incomes.

Her clients include entrepreneurs, high-profile business owners, influential sports people, landowners and high-net-worth individuals. She is praised by her clients not only for her ‘skills at cutting through the extraneous details’ and ‘professionalism that is second to none’ but also for being ‘compassionate and caring’. Her understanding and trauma-led approach is invaluable to those clients who have experienced domestic abuse.

Rachel also works closely with The Family Law Company’s dedicated unmarried family finance team, applying her considerable expertise to the preparation of pre-nuptial and cohabitation agreements for high-net-worth individuals. Her expertise is recognised by inclusion in several HNW guides recognised and highly regarded by figures in private wealth management. Rachel also provides regular commentary in the legal, regional and national media.
