Testimonials

“Emily was a great sounding board to talk to as I was both gearing up for and then going through the partnership promotion process.”

Partner, Taylor Wessing

“I reached a low ebb in confidence in the middle of this year and Emily helped massively to navigate the period through exploring my understanding of it and encouraging me to take concrete steps. I’m closing out the year in a better position and with a more positive mindset. I don’t think this would have happened without Emily’s support.”
