Rebecca Rule

About

I am an experienced employment lawyer, having worked at Lewis Silkin since joining as a trainee in 2007. My practice has involved advising a wide variety of clients over the years on day-to-day employment matters, with a focus on those in the professional and financial services sectors. I have had a particular interest and specialism in carrying out sensitive workplace investigations for clients over the years, and I now focus on undertaking that investigatory work for clients.

In addition, I joined our training team in 2026 as a Senior Legal Trainer, and now enjoy providing training to clients on a range of employment law topics alongside my investigations practice, drawing on my many years of practising as a solicitor.
