Rachel Atkins

Spear’s Review

Rachel Atkins, a partner and head of the legal team at Schillings, has a particular focus on mitigating reputation and privacy risks for entrepreneurs.

She told Spear’s: ‘I see myself as much as a problem solver as a lawyer.’ The picture she paints certainly requires that. ‘In today’s current climate, wealth and success are seen as crimes. Reputation and privacy are vital to any conversation about what it means to live in a connected, digital world, and the codes and rules that govern reputation and privacy are now being debated the world over,’ she said.

In one of her favourite briefs, Atkins was tasked with ensuring press and paparazzi didn’t catch wind of an ‘extravagant party’ thrown by an entrepreneur.
