Meet Emma
I am a L&D enthusiast who happened upon the legal industry back in 2006, and have remained here ever since (with a few breaks for parental leave thrown in). I started out working at a large, international firm with big budgets and scope, and have gradually gravitated towards smaller, independent firms over the years, such as Farrer & Co and Stevens & Bolton.
I enjoy growing the L&D function as the firm grows, and developing L&D programmes and solutions to enable and empower groups and individuals to progress through their careers. I find the current focus on managing this alongside wellbeing and positive mental health both fascinating and an exciting challenge. Here at Lawrence Stephens, I thrive on the shared commitment to support and develop people with structured, timely and relevant L&D initiatives throughout their time here – from early careers all the way through to retirement.
Away from my desk, I can be found getting mildly competitive with my nearest and dearest on the tennis court, or taking part in some sort of activity or experience that involves group euphoria: be that in the middle of a muddy field at a music festival, bouncing around in a step class, watching a comedy/theatre show, or singing in a choir. Alternatively, I am equally fond of a more restful binge of a thriller boxset.
