Emily is ranked as a “Rising Star” in the 2024 and 2025 editions of the Legal 500 for her work in the practice areas of divorce & financial remedy and children & domestic violence.

Emily enjoys a busy court and advisory practice across Chambers’ key practice areas. She welcomes instructions in financial remedy proceedings, private law children proceedings, applications under the Family Law Act and in civil proceedings under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996.

Emily has experience as a non-court dispute resolution advocate. She has represented parties at arbitrations under the Family Law Arbitration Scheme, including both the Children and Financial Schemes.

Within financial remedy proceedings, Emily acts across the full spectrum of cases, including in cases where the assets are limited in value up to high-value financial cases with an international element, and in cases involving nuptial agreements. Emily is able to advise at all stages of financial remedy proceedings, including pre-action and following proceedings being issued. Emily also has experience of maintenance pending suit and legal services payment order applications, applications for variation, enforcement, and cases where conduct and litigation capacity are in issue.

In addition, Emily has a growing practice in private (non-agency) adoption matters. Emily advises on adoption matters with a foreign element, in addition to applications for adoption orders which are made by step-parents and by other carers.

Emily’s civil practice focusses on claims between unmarried couples or other cohabitees concerning the ownership of property and other assets. This includes claims under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. Emily has acted at first instance level and also has experience on appeal.

Prior to joining Chambers, Emily worked as a consultant for a number of top-tier investment banks. Emily is able to use the skills she gained in order to provide commercially-minded advice.

Emily is happy to receive instructions for suitable cases under the Public Access scheme.
