Emma Price

Emma Price specialises in inquests and inquiries, public law, human rights and civil liberties, data protection and information law and personal injury.

Emma is recognised as a leading junior in the legal directories. She is described by her clients as “forensic”, “diligent and personable” and “bright and thoroughly effective”, 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”, “a great strategic advocate” and someone who “really goes the extra mile” (Legal 500).

Notable examples of Emma’s inquest and inquiry work include her instructions as counsel to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry and to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry (Module 3), as well as her instructions on the Infected Blood Inquiry, the Inquests into the deaths arising from the helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium, Leicester, 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.

Much of Emma’s work engages human rights issues and she is regularly instructed in relation to Human Rights Act claims, particularly in relation to articles 2, 3, 5 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Emma is on the Attorney General’s A Panel of Counsel.

Emma sits (part-time) as an Assistant Coroner for the City of London.
