Rhona Forster Legal Director,
Head of Commercial Real Estate Bristol
Meet the team
The supportive bond, built up after many years, between myself and my colleagues in Bristol. It makes working together so easy and enjoyable.
What do you enjoy most about working at Ince?
It’s as simple as wanting to help people. When I first started, access to the law for a lot of people was limited and a mystery to most.
I thought I could help bridge that gap and present law in a way that people would understand so that any encounter would be less stressful.
Why did you want to become a lawyer?
What is the proudest moment of your career so far?
When I managed to complete a difficult series of property transactions to rescue an established sports club who were in financial difficulties. The club were not relegated from their league and continue to thrive. That is a satisfying outcome.
What do you enjoy the most about what you do?
Working with my repeat property clients. I enjoy getting to know them so well that I feel part of their business, therefore making a much bigger impact and difference in terms of their success.
What is the best client feedback you have received?
That they don’t know how they’d manage without me!
Seek legal advice at the very beginning of a transaction and before you agree Heads of Terms. We can make a difference; help you avoid potential pitfalls and possible financial losses. Find a solicitor who specialises in what you need and who you feel
What key bit of advice would you give to somebody taking or granting a commercial lease or effecting a commercial property transaction?
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
Being a role model for those following behind and leading by example.
I read, I jog, I “bounce” (it’s a form of exercise on a trampoline). I enjoy good food, wine and company and I spend a lot of time with family and friends eating out and making memories. I travel when I can both here and abroad.
What do you do in your spare time?
