Emily Brand
Position: Partner
Core Areas: Family Law & Private Client
Emily Brand is a Partner within our Private Client department. She specialises in all aspects of family law with particular experience in complex international disputes and relationship breakdown involving foreign elements.
Emily aims to combine strategic and commercial expertise with sensitivity and compassion for her clients’ individual circumstances. She has the technical know-how and drive to achieve imaginative solutions whether restricting access to wealth or unlocking it. Having worked on the groundbreaking case of Radmacher v Granatino concerning a prenuptial contract, she is particularly interested in assisting couples to reach an agreement (entered into either before or after marriage) with a view to clarifying how their finances will be arranged in the event of divorce.
Emily has considerable experience in relation to private children law and strongly believes that - when possible - the care of children should be a shared endeavour.
