About Emma
Private client lawyers often assist clients through some of the most difficult life events imaginable. I understand how important it is to provide prompt advice in those circumstances, and to do so in a calm, considerate and clear way. As an immigrant to the UK, I know how complex taxation issues can be, and I have a particular interest in de-mystifying these issues for my clients.
Emma advises individuals on all aspects of private client law including wills, lasting powers of attorney, trusts and estate planning and probate. She is recognised by clients for her calm and organised approach and for providing clear advice in plain English.
Emma qualified as a solicitor in 2020 and joined Russell-Cooke in 2022.
