Emily Griggs

The Directors are delighted to announce that Emily Griggs has qualified as a Probate Practitioner.

Of her journey from apprentice administration assistant to qualified lawyer Emily says:

It only feels like yesterday I came into the office as a 16 year old school leaver with no work experience nor any idea of what I wanted to do for a career… 7 years and countless hours of study and exams  later here I am!

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to the Directors for this incredible opportunity and I can only thank them and my colleagues for their wholehearted support in my journey to qualifying as a Probate Practitioner.

They have believed in me since the very first day as the office junior and have fuelled my interest and passion in the law. I look forward to this new chapter and continuing to work in the Private Client department providing legal services to the clients at Bates Wells & Braithwaite.
