A boutique law firm of exceptional quality and talent where clients' and lawyers' interests are aligned by collaboration and innovation
Bexley Beaumont has announced the appointment of one of the UK's leading experts in equine law.
In addition to developing substantial experience advising national and multi-national companies and agricultural partnerships on dispute resolution and business growth and strategy, Rebecca Stojak has become renowned for her work across a broad range of commercial and competitive issues affecting equestrian sport.
Her clients include some of the leading riders, trainers, breeders and owners involved in eventing, dressage and horseracing at home and abroad as well as a number of the foremost animal charities.
Bexley Beaumont co-founder and Chief Executive, Karen Bexley, described how Rebecca's arrival was evidence of the firm's ability to attract many of the country's top specialists in a breadth of different legal disciplines.
"Rebecca is one of only a handful of lawyers called on by the equestrian world's elite.
"Having her join us is testament to our unique approach and its ability to help even lawyers with established national and international reputations take their careers still further.
"It enables Rebecca to exercise greater control and autonomy over how, where and when she deals with the very distinct nature of her caseload than she might have enjoyed at other, more traditional law firms."
Ms Stojak has joined Bexley Beaumont after 13 years with two of the East Midlands' most familiar legal brands, Geldard's and Shakespeare Martineau.
A keen and accomplished rider since childhood herself, she advises some of the most successful equestrian competitors, trainers, breeders and owners as well as international supplement, equipment and clothing manufacturers and distributors.
Ms Stojak also works with several high-profile animal and horse charities, and is a regular keynote speaker at the UK's leading equestrian trade events, as well as contributing to publications such as Your Horse and Horse and Hound.
Her appointment demonstrates Bexley Beaumont's continued momentum as a business and for its specialists operating in a variety of different legal sectors.
Within the last few weeks, it has seen its Real Estate expand to 26 with the arrival of Jo Higham as Partner and Felicia Persis as Associate.
Their Real Estate colleague Bethan Watt was, meanwhile, promoted to Legal Director, while Phil Miles also advanced to Partner in the firm's Corporate team.
Furthermore, Alice Kinder, a Legal Director and one of Bexley Beaumont's Employment lawyers, was last week named as one of the UK's four Diversity Champions at the Women and Diversity in Law Awards in London.
In January, the firm became one of only 38 law firms in England and Wales to be certified as a B-Corporation.
It achieved the prestigious international standard for sustainability and governance after a rigorous two-year assessment, recording one of the highest scores of any qualifying legal practice in England and Wales in the process.
