Feedback

Emma's feedback

From clients and the Legal 500.

I worked with Emma Rowley on a number of projects, and she has always been excellent, knowledgeable, pleasant, considered, but on my side. Would definitely recommend.

Legal 500 UK 2025

I’ve dealt with many lawyers over the years – and not always withheld your profession in the highest regard. If a single person could change that view, it would be you. Professional. Unflustered. Committed. You have been a complete pleasure to deal with. Thank you!

Peter Mullin, Lifecycle Consulting

Two individuals for me – Neil Jones and Emma Rowley. Both have been extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. I can always reach out to them if any issues crop up on transactions and they will get on to it immediately.

Legal 500 UK 2025

Can I thank you personally, and your colleagues at Ansons for your approachable and thoroughly professional service. We would have no hesitation in engaging you again in future or recommending you to other local businesses.

Dr S., Sutton Coldfield Group Practice

We work with Neil Jones, Jamie Gill and Emma Rowley, and their knowledge and expertise as corporate lawyers is second to none. They are very commercial and offer good, sound advice. Nothing is too much trouble and they will go out of their way to help a client.

Legal 500 UK 2024

Right from engagement to completion, Emma’s exemplary communication, organisational skills, time management and legal expertise advice were exceptional and exactly what we required as clients. As first time buyers, Emma showed first class empathy yet purpose, and ensured everything stayed on track to completion and supported us thoroughly and competently.

Nemesh Patel, Pharmacist
