Emma Walker

Solicitor

Emma Walker is a very experienced Family & Children Law Associate Solicitor, whose clients really appreciate her determined and no nonsense approach to achieving the right outcome for them.

Client feedback in The Legal 500 highlights:

‘I was recommended Emma Walker to handle my divorce and the financial aspects, and I am so glad I took that advice. From the moment I started working with her, it was clear that her knowledge was outstanding. She navigated a very complex case with incredible skill and precision, providing me with support every step of the way.’

‘Emma Walker has a very honest approach and guided me all the way through family proceedings. I will always listen to her advice, she is amazing at what she does.'

Her expertise in Family & Children Law encompasses both financial issues, such as maintenance payments and the division of assets, and dealing with the often sensitive and potentially contentious issues concerning arrangements for children following separation or divorce.

Emma has particular expertise in advising on complex high net worth and farming-related divorces, including issues in relation to family companies and partnerships, land disposals and matters arising from that.

Emma combines over 25 years experience advising clients on a wide range of Family and other litigation matters with a practical and determined perspective that her clients find reassuring and that helps achieve positive results.

Here is some recent feedback from a client, to give you an insight to how Emma focuses on her clients' interests and helps guide them through a process that can sometimes feel quite daunting:

"I really am so grateful for all you have done and I genuinely believe I couldn't have had a better solicitor in my corner, to some it may be just a job but I didn't get that from you, you really put your all in and the support you gave me will never be forgotten."

Emma is supervised by the Head of Family, Amy Foweather.
