Emily is a Trainee Solicitor, currently working in her third seat in our Private Client team after completing her second seat in our commercial property team and her first seat in our family law team.

Emily graduated from Northumbria University as a Master in Law with First Class Honours. She joined Crombie Wilkinson in March 2021, working initially as Legal Secretary in our Private Client team before being promoted to Paralegal and going on to work in our Company/Commercial Property team.
