Law ‘visionary’ in the spotlight at Leadership Awards

York-based legal boss Rachel Roche has built a reputation as someone who does things slightly differently.
The impact of her journey in creating a successful law firm was such that the Law Society commissioned her to co-author a book ‘How to Start a Law Firm’.
In March her achievements were once again in the spotlight as she came out on top in the Professional Services category at the Leadership Awards.
A Roche Legal company spokesperson said: “Winning in the Professional Services category is a significant honour for Roche Legal. It highlights our dedication to leading the way in private client law, with an innovative and international focus. This recognition underscores our commitment to empowering clients and driving positive change in the legal profession.
“It also celebrates our team’s passion for transforming legal services and Rachel’s visionary leadership in challenging traditional practices. This accolade inspires us to keep raising the bar in professional excellence and client-focused legal support.”
If you want to follow in Rachel’s footsteps, you have just eight days to enter the 2025 Leadership Awards and don’t forget it’s free.
