Emma Cook

Paralegal

Emma joined our Wills, Probate & Estate Planning department based in our Andover office, in 2022 as a Paralegal, having qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in January 2012. She previously dealt with residential conveyancing matters and joined the firm to help fulfil her ambition of becoming a Private Client Lawyer. To facilitate the change in specialisms, Emma is studying in her spare time for CILEx Certificates in Wills & Succession Law and Probate Practice. Emma can help clients with Probate & Estate Administration, Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Court of Protection matters, with her focus on being friendly and approachable. As she often sees people at their most vulnerable when they are dealing with one of the hardest times of their lives, Emma considers it a privilege to act for them and relieve some of the pressure they are facing. Prior to joining the firm, Emma obtained a degree in Criminology before working for some time in a civilian role for the Hampshire Constabulary. Upon realising she wanted to pursue a career in the law, she joined Talbot Walker LLP in 2003 as a Legal Secretary and a year later began studying to become a Chartered Legal Executive. She progressed to Associate before leaving the firm in 2021 to pursue a career with us in Private Client law.
