Testimonials

Competencies that stood out for me were Emma’s technical excellence, listening skills, great tenacity around challenging issues, exceptional attention to detail, efficiency of work and unfailing ability to meet tight deadlines. It was always a great asset having Emma by your side at challenging moments.
Emma has acquired a deep insight into the mindset of the Construction Industry, the people, commercial, time, risks, and logistical challenges we face. Knowing when to offer impartial legal advice and knowing when and how to drive through a legal/ commercial solution to protect the business interests was something that she fine-tuned exceptionally well over her tenure.
