Associate Solicitor

Emily careers page

Emily is a specialist in Family Law, experienced in guiding clients through the divorce process, dealing with financial matters upon divorce and separation, and reaching arrangements for children. In some cases, that involves negotiation and mediation, and in others, it may be necessary to go to Court

Emily is an advocate for non-court dispute resolution and keeping matters as amicable as possible from the outset. In the same vein, Emily will fight your corner and has been praised by her clients in this regard.

Whichever route your case takes, Emily will make sure you understand the process, the alternative options available to you and what the most suitable option is in your case, depending on the specific and individual circumstances, including the approach and behaviour of the other party.

Emily has been praised by clients for her sensitive and supportive approach, while always keeping clients in the loop and being proactive on their cases. She will keep you regularly up to date with the progress of your matter and will seek to achieve the best possible outcome for you as cost-effectively as possible, whilst also being realistic and managing
your expectations along this way.

Emily is a member of Resolution and a committee member of YRes. She is therefore committed to a non-confrontational and constructive approach, with a focus on collaborative solutions to benefit all those involved, especially any children of the family.

Emily is based at our Petersfield office.
