Our three new Partners reflect the deep pool of talent within the firm. Congratulations to Emma, Jacqueline, and Clare; I want to thank them for their dedication and commitment to our firm and our core value of delivering the exceptional for our clients.”

Emma Elkington said: “I am extremely proud of what we have achieved at Phillips Law and the outstanding work undertaken by the commercial property team, and I am excited to be playing my part in the firm’s next stage of growth.
