Rebecca Scott
Senior Knowledge Lawyer, UK
Rebecca began her career with Osborne Clarke in 2000, joining the Thames Valley office as a newly qualified lawyer. She subsequently spent some time working for a law firm in Sydney before returning to OC. Rebecca completed a secondment with the financial sponsors team at a major clearing bank which gave her a valuable insight into the demands and challenges faced by clients.
In 2025 she moved into a Senior Knowledge Lawyer role for the Banking and Finance team. Her focus is on technical excellence: keeping the team up to date with legal and market developments; designing and delivering training for lawyers and clients; maintaining precedent suites and know‑how; and providing clear, practical guidance on complex queries. She helps assess the most effective AI products for use by the firm and delivers training on law and practice. Rebecca works closely with partners and fee‑earners to drive consistency and efficiency, and collaborates with the firm’s innovation and legal technology team (OCS) to enhance delivery through document automation and knowledge tools. She champions knowledge‑sharing and a culture of continuous improvement, helping colleagues deliver pragmatic, commercially focused advice.
