Rebecca's primary research interests relate to the operation of legal professional privilege (LPP) and related ethical issues in a variety of contexts such as corporate governance, taxation, legal technology, deferred prosecution agreements and legal advice to Government. LPP is an under researched evidential area yet has a significant and far-reaching impact on society and is of fundamental importance to all lawyers. Rebecca has been published in a range of national and international journals of the highest quality, including the International Journal of Evidence and Proof and the Modern Law Review.

Rebecca is currently undertaking research focussed on expert evidence in cell site geolocation . She will be presenting at the 2nd Michele Taruffo Girona Evidence week in early June 2025.
