Hello there...
‘Welcome to EMG. A friendly, modern and award winning law firm. For our clients, we offer clear, practical advice on all legal issues and a shoulder to lean on if times are more testing. We provide the legal support that our clients require in order to achieve anything from their basic needs to their wildest dreams, and everything in between.’
Emma Gaudern Managing Director
Imagine a law firm that is routinely described by its happy clients as: “Just Like Friends; Always There For You; Over the Moon Amazing; Deeply Understanding & Dependable; Gentle, Caring, Approachable; A Big Part of Our Family”.
These are just some of the phrases that our clients have used to describe us. A firm where the values of connecting with real people and contributing to our community are priorities.
For us, providing a quality service is our number one aim and we achieve this by investing in, listening to and training our people and providing an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves. Whilst we know we’re a little different, we do this because we believe our clients want and deserve something a little bit more. Especially when it matters most.
‘Thank you for such a quick, smooth experience helping us to remortgage....’
