Headspace Speaker Programme – Rachel Metcalf OB

We were delighted to welcome OB Rachel Metcalf back to Barney as she delivered a series of engaging talks to Senior School students as part of our Headspace Speaker Programme.

Rachel, who is a Managing Associate at global law firm Linklaters, spoke about the career opportunities available in Law, recalling her time at university and career to date.

After achieving a string of top grades while at Barney in her GCSEs and A Levels, Rachel read Law at Durham University, culminating in a First Class Honours degree, before training to become a solicitor.

She joined global law firm Linklaters as a Trainee Solicitor and is now an Associate at the firm’s London offices, specialising in Business Crime, Contentious Regulation and Commercial Litigation.

Many thanks for your time, Rachel, we would like to wish you all the very best in your promising Law career and hope to welcome you back to Barney in the not too distant future!
