Emily is a solicitor in our Queenstown office. Having graduated from the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Laws in 2022, she relocated to Queenstown to join the AWS Legal team.

Emily works in our Family Team supporting one of our partners, Kasey Templer in all family law matters. Based in our Queenstown Office, Emily frequently travels to our Invercargill Office to assist our Family Team. Emily is committed to providing compassionate and personalised support to each client, ensuring they feel heard and understood throughout the legal process.

In addition to her family law expertise, Emily has experience in property and private client matters. Her background in residential conveyancing, subdivisions, and estate planning, enables her to provide comprehensive legal advice and support with empathy and professionalism.

Outside of work Emily can be found exploring the region, visiting friends and family, and in the winter – learning to ski!
