Emma is recognised as a leading junior in the legal directories and is described by her clients as “razor-sharp” and “extremely diligent and hard-working”, with “outstanding analytical ability” (Chambers UK); “bright and hardworking – measured and persuasive in court, and very good on technical legal points”, “meticulous in every respect” and “a great strategic advocate” (Legal 500).

Notable examples of Emma’s inquest and inquiry work include her current instructions as counsel to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry and the UK Covid-19 Inquiry (Module 3), the Infected Blood Inquiry, the Oudeh and Saleem inquests and the fresh inquests into the deaths of Cheryl James and Sean Benton at Deepcut Barracks.

Emma’s public law practice encompasses judicial review claims across a range of areas, including prisons, policing, inquests, health and social care and education.
