Commenting on her appointment, Rebecca said: 'I am delighted to be joining Blacks Solicitors as a Partner in the Corporate team. The team has gone from strength to strength in recent years and is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in both the Yorkshire and national markets for corporate deals. I’m looking forward to further developing the firm’s offering and expertise in my specialist areas such as large-scale and complex private equity transactions and bolstering Blacks’ credibility as a leading legal advisor both regionally and nationally.'

Commenting on Rebecca’s appointment, Nigel Hoyle, head of the corporate team, added: 'The Corporate team has had a promising start to 2025.
