Emma is the Principal Lawyer of the Asbestos team in the North West at Thompsons.
She leads the Asbestos team in the region, handling cases involving all asbestos-related conditions, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, pleural thickening and asbestosis. Emma oversees all asbestos-related cases throughout the North West and supervises all other members of the Asbestos team.
Emma works closely with regional support groups, charities and nurses to support our clients. She also works with charities supporting those with asbestos-related conditions and their families, in order to raise funds and awareness of the issues surrounding asbestos.
Emma was called to the Bar in 2009, then qualified as a Solicitor in 2013.
Emma has practised in disease, with a focus on asbestos litigation, since before she qualified as a solicitor. However, she has practised solely in asbestos for a number of years.
Emma wanted to join Thompsons to secure justice for those affected by exposure to asbestos, which despite being banned many years ago still has a devastating effect upon many people.
Emma is a keen runner and cyclist. She has taken part in a large number of marathons and an ultra-marathon. Her most recent marathon was the Paris Marathon, which she took part in to raise money for Mesothelioma UK.
