Award-winning law firm celebrates further expansion with new Manchester office

Hot on the heels of the opening of their Darlington office in February 2023, EMG Solicitors’ growth plans are being realised further with a brand-new division in Altrincham, Manchester.

Led by director Ruth Wright, the team is also being strengthened with two new appointments, Client Executive, Katy Parrott and Team Administrator, Rachel Snowdon.

The Manchester office initially focuses on EMG’s primary specialism of Court of Protection (COP), with Wills, trusts and probate, family, dispute resolution, residential conveyancing, and commercial property being serviced by team members from other branches, with plans to recruit in these areas in the coming months.

The new base takes EMG’s office footprint up to five, demonstrating the brand’s growing reputation in the legal sector.

Officially opened in April 2023, the office is led by experienced and well-known legal professional Ruth Wright. Ruth joined EMG’s Court of Protection Property and Affairs team bringing with her over 18 years’ of experience working as a professional deputy and trustee alongside her solid background in litigation.

Ruth Wright, director, Court of Protection, EMG Solicitors, said: “I am delighted to have had the opportunity to join the EMG team. Not only do they have an enviable reputation in the market, not least for their specialism in COP, but they have fantastic values and a really great ethos too. This really resonated with me on both a personal and professional level.

“I love that they are a firm that ‘can do’ and ‘does do’, making things happen and creating a real difference to our clients’ lives. They have integrity and kindness too which for me is essential, as well as really talented lawyers across the business who all support each other to deliver the highest levels of client service.”

Emma Gaudern, managing director of EMG Solicitors, added: “Opening an office in Manchester has always been a personal dream having worked in the area as a practising lawyer for many years in my earlier career. As an avid beekeeper too in my spare time, I suppose it would seem apt to have our next office here given it’s one of the city’s emblems!

“And it really is wonderful to have Ruth, Katy and Rachel in our team who bring with them a wealth of experience. Their appointments will only go to strengthen our service offering further and I wish them all the best in their roles.

“We are proud of the fact that this office now takes us from being a North East and Cumbrian firm to a Northern firm with an even wider footprint, meaning we are able to better support our expanding portfolio of clients, and their communities.”
