Rebecca Christie

Senior Associate

Specialism: Lawyers Family and Matrimonial, Art Advisory

Location: London, England

Divorce: Rich rock stars and their royalties

With series two of BBC legal drama The Split currently airing, featuring the complexities of high profile divorces it seemed timely to look at a developing issue surrounding celebrity divorce and how to deal with royalties.

“The starting point is that both parties share the wealth created by their endeavours during the marriage”, said Rebecca Christie. However, it’s important to note that “future income is not subject to the sharing principle, as it arises from work done after the marriage has ended”. Royalties are an “interesting hybrid as they generate income in the future, based on work carried out in the past”.

Rebecca is a rising star. She cares about her clients and has ambition that motivates young women to want to be successful. Her empathy and dedication to the role is what makes her stand out. She’s trusted and clients feel safe around her. It’s great to see such a bright, talented woman grow and make a difference in her field. She’s an inspiration to all young female law students.

Private client review:

Rebecca has been representing me for my ongoing divorce. I can honestly say I do not know how she manages to retain all the never-ending stream of information and facts to do with this case, knowing that she is also working on many other cases too. She always makes you feel that it is only you she is working for and is 100% committed to the job in hand. Alongside her meticulous record keeping, she also has just the right amount of empathy as well, so that I as the client, know she is doing her utmost best. Rebecca knows how to read a situation very quickly, and that I think is very valuable. Rebecca manages to try and make the whole situation as stress free as possible, whilst managing expectations, which is very very helpful too. Whenever I have a telephone call with her or an exchange of emails, I am always left with the feeling that she is totally "on it, in tandem with being respectful, patient and super efficient.

Rebecca is most deserving of this nomination and I am thrilled to support it. Having worked with Rebecca over the past 18 months, it is clear she is a rising star and dedicated to her clients. Rebecca is personable, absolutely on point with her advice to clients and in so doing, saves her clients the costs of undue lengthy litigation.

Peer review:

I have been instructed by Rebecca on several cases of high complexity. Rebecca is extremely component as a family law solicitor, and equally personable. The two distinct qualities do not always come together. Rebecca stands out as rising star and is highly regarded by her peers in the profession. Particularly endearing is Rebecca's positive praise and support of her peers in a highly competitive area of practice. I would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca, who is deserving of the praise she receives.

I have known Rebecca for a number of years, she's a delightful, intelligent and eclectic individual. She's someone that I look up to and draw inspiration from. I have never known someone to invest as much time and dedication to her work, family and friends as she does. I am proud to say I know her.

Co-worker review:

Rebecca is a dynamo, producing energy, positive results and momentum for everything in which she is involved. She has the ability to take on complex cases with many different aspects. She does so with many different types of people and property (including business and agricultural matters). She is a great asset to the firm, providing leadership and innovation for both peers and those more senior to her. She has huge empathy with people, is insightful and cares about outcomes for her clients. Rebecca is a rising star.

Excellent professional with empathy and understanding; a lawyer who genuinely cares and can advise to the highest standards

03 Jul 2019

Peer review:

Rebecca Christie is one to watch. Not only is she an excellent family lawyer, but she is proactively engaged in her industry. As well as being focused and determined to achieve the best possible outcome for the clients she works with, she also recognises her responsibility to be an active member in her field and goes out of her way to do so. This gives her the experience to give intelligent, thoughtful and meticulous advice surpassing that expected from someone near the start of their career. Rebecca is a natural leader who combines sympathetic understanding and fierce brainpower with a pure ardour for her area.

03 Jul 2019

Peer review:

Rebecca has rapidly built a reputation as a calm, professional voice, who above and beyond navigating a number of complex cases since qualification, takes on a vast number of other responsibilities in the firm, providing leadership and advice beyond the experience of her peers.
