Emma Brunning
Collaborative Solicitor, Family Solicitor and Family Arbitrator
I have practiced in family law since I qualified as a solicitor in 1997. Having seen the damage that court proceedings can do, I am a strong advocate for dispute resolution.

The collaborative approach enables the couple to work alongside professionals with a similar mindset to mine, in the best interests of the whole family.
I am a member of Resolution, where I am an accredited specialist and a trained Collaborative lawyer. I am also a qualified Arbitrator in respect of financial issues arising from relationship breakdown.
