Rachel Faulconbridge and Danielle Gibbon both join the firm as newly qualified corporate solicitors, furthering the team’s strength in depth while continuing to drive Lupton Fawcett’s commitment to development and diversity.
Lupton Fawcett’s reputation for providing excellent corporate legal advice and services is showcased in the latest legal rankings. The corporate team was promoted to Band 2 by Chambers UK 2022 and is led by Giles Clegg, who is also ranked in Chambers.

Rachel and Danielle join a team that is committed to outstanding client service and has a structured training programme that promotes development of all members of the team.”
