Emma leads our contentious trusts team in the UK. She's described by clients as a commercially astute advisor with a formidable reputation for trust litigation work. She's advised on landmark cases including the first ever action involving an insolvent trust. Emma's mandates often involve a crossborder or international element.

Emma is dual qualified as an English Barrister and a Jersey Advocate, allowing her to represent clients in the Jersey Courts directly.

She advises across aspects of contentious trusts work, and has a particular focus on representing trustees and high net worth clients.

Her practice covers civil fraud work, asset-tracing and recovery within the context of offshore trusts and structures. She also helps clients with alternative dispute resolution strategies including mediation.

Experience

Acting in successful Z trust litigation

The former trustee of an insolvent trust in a precedent setting case from the Court of Appeal in Jersey. The Court of Appeal held that a former trustee's equitable lien and rights of indemnity should be enforced in priority to the current trustee's rights where the trust in question is insolvent. This case was a precedent setting judgment for the trust industry and for trust legal practitioners.
