Michelle Rothburn

Partner

michelle.rothburn@blackstonesolicitorsltd.co.uk

Michelle joined Blackstone Solicitors as a Commercial Property Partner in June 2016. In early 2019 she reduced her fee-earning role to prioritise mentoring and auditing staff across the firm and to increase the firm’s focus on business development.

Michelle qualified in 1988 and has spent all of her professional life practising commercial property. She has extensive knowledge and a strong reputation for speed and efficiency which benefits both clients and colleagues alike.

Michelle’s no nonsense approach and departure from the ‘traditional way’ that legal firms tend to act continues to be well received by clients. She continues to advise clients who she first represented upon qualification which is a clear testament to her ability and the quality of service that she provides. Michelle’s time management skills and lateral thinking enables her to take a commercial and realistic approach to her transactions.

Michelle enjoys fine dining, cooking, her family and all things blue – Manchester City!
