Legal 500 has previously described her as ‘quite simply the best matrimonial lawyer in the North’ and ‘a very formidable opponent in the big cases’. In addition to the many cases Emma has handled discreetly and outside the public eye, one of her recent reported judgments, ON v ON [2024] EWFC 379, stands out as a landmark decision. It marked the first-ever application to set aside an arbitral award in family law. With no established procedure under the Family Procedure Rules, Emma devised a new procedural framework herself, which was subsequently approved and adopted by the judge. The case set a precedent and showcased Emma’s innovative legal thinking and leadership in uncharted territory. Accustomed to high-profile cases, Emma’s clients include CEOs of multi-million pound companies, footballers and their spouses, entrepreneurs and business owners. She has a broad geographical practice with clients based in the North West and North East of England but also the Midlands, Shropshire, Wales and London.
