What I do

I joined Smith Partnership as a paralegal in our Commercial Property in June 2018, I then began my training contracted in November 2022 and qualified as a solicitor in May 2023 specialising in Company and Commercial law.

I am a very down to earth and approachable person who brings energy and enthusiasm to the team.

When I am not hard at work, you will either find me spending time with my family, friends and partner, renovating my house, walking my dog Simba, or reading a book.

I am absolutely delighted with the service you have provided me once again. Emily has been great from start to finish and I will not hesitate to recommend you or use you again in future. Thank you for your hard work in getting this over the line in such a short tine frame, I appreciate the push.

Client, Company and Commercial

Zoe Romain and Emily showed patience and diligence in dealing with our business. The experience was made more bearable by their reassuring manner and the way they dealt with the issues. They were always contactable and dealt with queries swiftly and efficiently and always kept us up to date with developments.

Client, Commercial Property

We can not fault the professionalism of Tara Harding and Emily Cokayne on the sale of our business. They kept us in the know throughout the whole of the sale with regular updates and top notch advise with excellent communication. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again and recommend.
