Emily joined the team here at Southerns in 2022 and is a Court of Protection Solicitor. She is dedicated to helping individuals and their families through situations that can feel overwhelming and emotional. Her role is to provide advice and support when decisions need to be made for someone who may no longer have the capacity to make those decisions for themselves.

My focus is always on protecting the individual at the heart of the matter while supporting families to find the best possible outcome.”
Emily’s career inspiration:
She says “I had been to court once in the past when I was 18 as part of a university trip. While this earlier visit partly inspired me to pursue a career in law, my recent visits to court have filled me with a new sense of pride and reminded me of how far I have come over the years. That feeling was affirmed when, instead of taking a seat in the public gallery as I had previously done as a student, I found myself seated on the solicitor’s bench, behind our client’s barristers.”
Outside of work Emily loves to go the gym, spend time with friends and family, trying new restaurants and walking her dog, Ralph. Fun fact, she achieved up to grade 5 in piano!
