Partner

Emily studied Law at the University of Cambridge.  She has worked in private practice in Salisbury and London; in industry both in France and the UK.  Having lived for nearly 20 years in France, Emily is back in the UK and joined CWJ as a Commercial Property Associate in 2017 and has since become a Partner and Head of Commercial Property in 2018. 

Emily says “I look for opportunities to develop strong working relationships with legal and non-legal colleagues within and outside my organisation.  These are important to me and add greatly to the quality of work I can deliver."

Whilst specialising in Commercial Property for 8 years before moving to France, Emily has worked on corporate matters including listing a French company on the Nasdaq and Euronext exchanges and on several multi-jurisdictional transactions.  “I started my legal career in Commercial Property and I’m happy to be back."
