Rachel has a particular strength in project managing large scale transactions and delivering excellent client service.

What do others say

Chambers and Partners 2017 - Rachel Pitman advises on both development and investment deals. Clients appreciate her "attention to detail" along with her "depth of knowledge and ability to communicate complex legal issues to non-legal professionals"

Supporting your ambitions

Rachel has led a number of acquisitions of large multi-let offices which have exchanged within a very short time of instruction. These transactions have required support from various legal disciplines and involve managing a large number of lawyers to deliver the project.  The transactions were successfully concluded within the challenging timescales despite issues arising along the way (such as title defects which needed to be rectified). Rachel has been able to achieve this by providing frank and clear advice drawing upon her extensive experience and protecting her clients interest whilst ensuring the timescales are hit.

What else should you know?

Rachel is a keen Manchester United fan, although more of an armchair supporter these days!

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
