This comes on the back of a period of expansion which has seen revenues increase in the last year by approximately 36% from £3.4 million to £4.6 million, with headcount now in excess of 138. It follows the launch of their Penrith office last September which continues to go from strength to strength.
The Cumbria division is led by Director and Head of Wills, Trusts & Probate, Samantha Edward. Alongside an experienced team of lawyers, it’s here that EMG provide a range of legal services including Court of Protection, Wills, trusts and probate, family, dispute resolution, residential conveyancing and commercial property.
The growth of the business can be credited to EMG’s ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional client service and investment in their people. With the recent expansion of the Commercial Property team supported by the appointment of Lynne McFaul as Senior Associate Solicitor.
