It’s simple; we offer practical legal advice and solutions to people and businesses, with great service. We give our clients what they want – friendly, approachable lawyers who offer the best, highest quality advice f

or you; who keep it simple and speak the same language. We let you know what will be involved, how long it will take, what it will cost and we keep you posted throughout. We are there when and where you need us, we get the job done with the best possible outcome to suit you, and we reward our clients for their loyalty.

Of course we are specialists and experts in law – it’s what we do, it’s a given. For us, our business is about people – our clients: the reason we come to work every day; and our employees: our only asset. We put both at the heart of everything we do, day in, day out. We want our clients to trust us (and we know they do - we talk to every single one of them and over 98% would recommend us to friends and family). We want our clients to feel they’ve had a positive experience and received real value for money, even when they’d much rather be spending their money on something a little more exciting. Overall, we want to keep our clients for life. We believe we are different. Our clients say we are different. I hope you experience something just that little bit different…

Navigating Complex Estates with Empathy & Care

A huge thank you to a very thoughtful client for sending these wonderful gifts to Joanne Pitchfork, Head of Wills & Probate!

Administering an estate is never easy, but when family dynamics make a probate matter extra tricky, having the right person in your corner makes all the difference. Joanne recently supported a client through the full estate administration of his late mother's estate, navigating complex family disagreements with patience, professionalism, and care, acting as the steady bridge throughout.

We're so glad we could bring peace of mind and clarity during such a difficult time.

How to Safeguard Your Business & Legacy: Read Our Feature in the July Issue of Yorkshire Life!

What happens to a family firm when a marriage comes to an end? With over 5 million family-run businesses across the UK, a personal breakup shouldn't have to mean a commercial breakdown.

Many business owners assume non-participating spouses or pre-existing assets are automatically protected, but under UK law, a company is often central to financial settlements. Stripping a cash-poor business to settle a division can put its very future at risk.

The good news? Proactive steps like pre-nuptial agreements and tailored legal advice can keep your hard-earned legacy safe for the next generation.

Help Us Shape a Fairer Future for Family Law: Have Your Say

Are you living with your partner but unmarried? Many cohabiting couples are shocked to learn that "common law marriage" is a myth, leaving them with almost no automatic legal rights for unmarried couples if they separate or if a partner passes away.

The law simply hasn't kept pace with modern families, but right now, we have a rare chance to change that.

The UK government has launched a major family law consultation, "A Fairer End to Relationships," to reform cohabitation laws UK, divorce financial settlements, and wills. Your voice matters. You don't need to be a legal expert to take part, just someone who cares about a fairer future.

Read our latest blog to find out how these changes affect you, how to have your say before 14 August 2026, and how our expert family law team can support you today: https://bit.ly/cohabyoursay

While the laws of tomorrow are being debated, you still have to live in the present. Contact the Emsleys Family Team for a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation on 0113 201 4902 or email [email protected].

At Emsleys, we ensure your rights are protected, the financial package is fair, and you have total peace of mind before you sign.

💫 Plus, did you know that your employer usually covers the legal fees? 💫
