Sharon Emslie

Director & Chartered Legal Executive

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am Head of the Family Department at Blackhurst Budd Solicitors. I am a Chartered Legal Executive and I have practiced Family Law for over a decade and worked within the legal sector for more than twenty years. I am pragmatic, with a ‘no nonsense’ approach and I achieve settlement in a high proportion of my cases. I believe that practical guidance and emotional support are just as important as legal advice. I am very approachable and will listen to you in order to ascertain your priorities. Many of my clients have been personally recommended to me, providing a clear indication of client satisfaction. I pride myself on excellent service and client care. I regularly advise on relationship breakdown and divorce to include the financial aspects. I advise clients on financial settlements often involving substantial and wide ranging assets including businesses and pensions, particularly NHS, Police, Fire and other public sector. I have a wealth of experience in dealing with matters relating to children. I regularly represent parents and wider family members in complex court proceedings including internal and international relocation cases. I have a growing fertility and surrogacy law practice, advising surrogates and intended parents. Regularly representing clients in Court, I am a tough and knowledgeable advocate.

Professional and understanding at a difficult time for our family

Blackhurst Budd helped with my son's divorce which was anything but straight forward for our family. Sharon and Jane were outstanding in their professional knowledge and caring attitude when it was required. We cannot thank them enough for their help over the last twelve months, understanding and considerate in their approach to some of the issues we had going on. Much appreciated by our family. Anyone reading this who is looking for good honest solicitors, please look no further. Fully recommended.

Wonderful service

Sharon was so lovely to deal with from the very beginning. I went into this not really knowing what I was doing. At our initial meeting she was so warm & friendly as well as clearly knowledgeable, she really put me at ease & I came away with a much clearer idea of the processes as well as what I was entitled to. After that, she kept me up to date via email & phonecall & was always friendly & approachable. I felt like I could go to her with any question, no matter how silly I thought it was! Her pricing was extremely fair & she was transparent about her charges throughout. Thankyou so much to Sharon & Jane for all your help.
