About Emma
As an Associate in the Private wealth team, I specialise in estate administration and a broad range of private client matters, including wealth structuring, estate planning, and tax optimisation
I am dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of managing and protecting their wealth. I focus on providing clear, practical advice, whether it’s guiding families through the often complex and emotional estate administration process or helping individuals plan for the future. My approach is empathetic and client-focused, ensuring that each client feels supported and confident in their decisions. I am committed to delivering tailored solutions and making a challenging time as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
I hold an upper second-class honours degree in Criminology and criminal justice studies from Portsmouth university. Following this, I pursued further qualifications with the Institute of Chartered Legal Executives (CILEx), ultimately becoming a CILEx fellow in 2014. Building on my legal expertise, I obtained a diploma in trusts and estates through the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), achieving the designation of Trust and estate practitioner in 2024. My career has been marked by a commitment to continuous professional development and a focus on trust and estate law.
I have a wide range of interests that keep me busy and bring me joy. I’m passionate about sports, particularly formula 1 and football, with a strong (though sometimes painful) allegiance to Arsenal. Supporting them has definitely taught me the art of patience and resilience! I have five cats who keep me on my toes. I am also a proud auntie of two beautiful nieces who I love spending time with as well as with the rest of my family. My husband and I have a deep appreciation for the natural world and enjoy exploring it whenever we can. Our most recent adventure took us to Tromsø in northern Norway, where we were able to experience the stunning landscapes and unique environment. Whether I’m watching a match, spending time with family, or enjoying the outdoors, I value these moments and the balance they bring to my life.
