I have an undergraduate degree in German and Business Studies. I worked for an international public health company whilst studying for my GDL and LPC. I qualified as a solicitor in 2013 having worked for several years at Michael Lewin Solicitors (now Oakwood Solicitors) where I specialised in personal injury and clinical negligence before moving on to continue my career development at Minster Law in Wakefield and Harrowells in York.
I have a Level 2 qualification in Counselling Skills.
More about Emma
We asked Emma: I am very empathetic to the difficulties of caring for a loved one with significant additional needs. My personal experiences have afforded me a unique insight into the impact that a life changing medical event can have on the whole family. I love that I can utilise my listening skills to help my clients feel understood. I have a keen eye for detail so I love to delve deep into medical records and expert evidence. A thirst for knowledge means that I really like to get to grips with the minutia of a complex case. The devil is often in the details. I have recently qualified as a children’s swimming teacher and I have been enjoying put my new skills into practice at a local swim school on the weekend. I am a Trustee of the Schinzel-Giedion Syndrome Foundation, a charity which I helped to form along with others parents of children diagnosed with this ultra-rare condition. The charity aims to fund research into therapies and treatments which will help to extend the lives of children born with the SGS.What can clients expect from you?
