Emma qualified as a solicitor at DLA Piper in 2014 and progressed to Senior Associate at the global firm before joining Provenio Litigation LLP in November 2019.
Emma is ranked by The Legal 500 as a “rising star” where she is described as “a name to watch going forward”. She is also praised for bringing “intelligence and energy to the team.”
With extensive experience advising clients in respect of complex high value litigation across a wide range of sectors, Emma’s practice covers a broad range of disputes from investment disputes, professional negligence claims to breach of long term commercial contract claims, as well as shareholder and partnership disputes.
