Georgia Duce

Solicitor

Job Role at EMG

I am a Solicitor in the Court of Protection team.

Experience

I completed my Law degree at Teesside University in 2020 with first class honours and completed the LPC with the University of Law in their Leeds campus. From 2015-2022 I worked at the Riverside Stadium as a hospitality Room Manager of the Rockliffe Lounge. In my time at Middlesbrough Football Club I was involved with the MFC Foundation charity events, contributed to the recruitment process and worked corporate events (I did not quite get to kick the ball on the pitch!). Within this time, I have also completed various legal work experiences across different departments, finally settling on the rewarding but chaotic area of COPPA. I qualified in March 2024 into the Court of Protection Property and Affairs Team and would not have it any other way!

What do you like about working at EMG?

I knew everyone at EMG was approachable and friendly from my recruitment process but nothing prepared me for the level of support I have received since starting. It is clear I have not only joined a law firm, but one huge family too.

Outside of EMG?

Outside of EMG I like to exercise, read and travel, taking my sunbathing Staffy Lola with me wherever I can. One of my favourite places to visit is Italy, although I can picture walking down the sea front of Nice forever!
