Neves Solicitors has celebrated their newest qualified family law solicitor.

Emily Pope joined the law firm in September 2018 as a trainee solicitor. As part of her training she had seats in the conveyancing, dispute resolution and family law departments. Gaining experience in three different departments has provided Emily with knowledge and expertise in other areas of law that complement her chosen field, family law. Emily will be working alongside partner and head of divorce and family law, Beth Woodward. Beth said: “As a qualified solicitor, Emily has completed four years of academic study in law and more than two years practical experience. She has brought to all her work enthusiasm; intelligence and a very real understanding of what clients need. This, plus her ability to identify at an early stage what the issues are, and how to achieve the best possible outcome for her client, makes her an excellent addition to the family law team.” Emily said: “I am really excited to be joining the family department at Neves in a permanent position. I have enjoyed all my training seats, but nothing has been able to tempt me away from family law and I have spent most of my time in this department. I am looking forward to becoming a part of a thriving family team and to continue developing as a solicitor.” Emily can advise on many aspects of family law including, divorce or separation including arrangements for children and financial settlements, nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements.
