Personal bio
I am an Executive Partner at specialist family law firm Rayden Solicitors, and I qualified as a Children Arbitrator in 2018. Since then, I have conducted Children Arbitrations both in a "hearing" style format and on a paper basis. I am also a Resolution accredited specialist in Children Law (private) and Complex Financial Remedies.
As a family law solicitor I have extensive experience across all areas of family law and in particular have significant experience of disputes concerning children, with a specific expertise in contested Child Arrangements Orders and a strong track record in external relocation (leave to remove) cases.
I am very aware of the significant emotional stress that my clients face, particularly in children matters, so I am very proud to be recognised by my professional peers and clients for my calm but thorough manner in handling cases.

“Emily is a star and simply wonderful to deal with! She is direct, succinct, highly professional, organised, crystal clear and very efficient. She is absolutely brilliant and it is a complete pleasure to work with her!” Client testimonial
I have practised family law exclusively since qualifying in 2002. After training and working in London firms for 12 years I joined Rayden Solicitors in 2012 and am based at our Berkhamsted office. However, I am also able to meet clients at any of Rayden Solicitors‘ other offices or elsewhere across the country, or alternatively can conduct meetings virtually on whatever platform is preferred by the clients.
