Emma McAndry, the director of EMS, adapts well to different parties, whether individuals without representation or businesses with barristers and experts in tow, sometimes encountering the extremes of parties in one case, particularly in multi-party disputes.

Using a facilitative style, yet not afraid to reality test her parties, Emma has an extremely high success rate in supporting parties achieve a mutually beneficial agreement.
