From 2017 to 2020 Rachel has been recognised as one of the ‘100 Most Influential Women in Finance’ and ‘20 most influential lawyers in Europe 2021’ by Financial News.

Rachel has been recognised for her recent appointment by HM Treasury to Chair the Investment Research Review (IRR) to promote better equity research aimed at promoting London as a boost to capital markets and a more favourable listing location.
