Young professional award-winner named among top legal ‘LinkedInfluencers’

The winner of the Greater Birmingham Young Professional Awards has been named one of the Top 10 Legal LinkedInfluencers.

Rebecca Horley, a medical negligence associate at Fletchers Solicitors, provides bespoke legal advice on complex serious injury matters including brain injury, birth injury, ophthalmic injury, orthopaedic injury, psychiatric injury and fatal cases.

Becca (pictured) also represents victims of Ian Paterson, the rogue breast surgeon who was jailed for 20 years for 17 counts of wounding with intent after subjecting more than 1,000 patients to unnecessary and damaging operations.

The quarterly report explores how the legal profession is using LinkedIn in practice, shifting the focus away from traditional marketing and towards professional development, visibility and relationship-building.

It highlights how lawyers can use the platform to articulate value, build influence and develop commercial confidence in a public but low-risk environment.

Becca’s inclusion in the Top 10 recognises her impactful use of LinkedIn to build a strong professional community, champion wellbeing, and support career progression within the legal sector.

Her approach reflects the report’s findings that effective use of LinkedIn is not about louder marketing, but about developing more capable, confident professionals who are better prepared for the realities of modern legal practice.

Speaking about the recognition, Becca said: “I’m delighted to be recognised as a Top 10 Legal LinkedInfluencer.

“I’m so proud of the community I’ve built, which empowers professionals to prioritise their wellbeing, advocate for themselves and dress to progress.

“This visibility, alongside my work as an award-winning and trusted medical negligence solicitor, enables me to reach seriously injured individuals and bereaved families and offer support at what is often the most difficult time in their lives.”
