We’ve been working with EM Law for about half a year. They’re really professional lawyers helping us to draft our software licence contracts and terms and conditions for our Software-as-a-Service product. Our Software-as-a-Service model is a brand new concept, even in the robotics industry where we have to consider a lot of hardware and software and the data behind the users. So it’s a challenge for the company to work this out, and EM Law is helping us a lot on this front.

We have been working with Neil for many years now, more recently on a retained basis because he has become someone we trust and who understands our business requirements. Neil has proven himself to be incredibly adaptable and has always been our go-to person for the more complex commercial agreements we have had to put in place. Neil is relaxed, engaging but also very professional and can lend his breadth of experience to provide considered opinion to many different areas of law. But it’s his detailed analysis and instinctive assessment of a commercial scenario and his ability to get to grips with the business requirement, the causes and effects that make him an invaluable sounding board for us.

I recently encountered a difficult situation with some consultants, and I'm incredibly grateful for the help I received from EM Law. Neil Williamson and his team, particularly Associate Solicitor Colin Lambertus, were fantastic throughout the process.

I highly recommend EM Law to anyone needing legal assistance!
Dan Kreiger
I had a fantastic experience with EM Law, specifically Suzy Giele. The firm immediately responded to my request to review a stock options agreement. Ms. Giele carefully examined it and advised me accordingly. The lawyers at this firm have a great deal of experience reviewing employee stock option agreements. They equipped me with important information that I would not have been able to identify on my own. After the advisement, I was able to make well-informed decisions. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Alberto Gabbai, CEO Cezanne HR Limited
I wish to thank you for your dedication in assisting me in this challenging and demanding deal. I believe that in the end we got to a well-balanced conclusion. I appreciated your pragmatic and professional approach throughout and I am happy to have chosen EM Law.
Marc Cross Director Klinical LTD
We're a London-based design agency and recently instructed EM Law to create our client contracts. Having had fairly cold/ impersonal experiences with law firms in the past, we went into this process half expecting the same. We were wrong! Neil and the team were extremely friendly, informative and accessible throughout. Always happy to answer our numerous questions and revisions to the contract (when required) were made super-swiftly. We're now in possession of a water-tight contract that gives us the protection we need, and hopefully a long-term legal partner. Thank you team!
Williams Wells, Director - Founders Media LTD
Brilliant service from Imogen and Neil at EM Law. Great work, excellent communication, and a trustworthy partner.

He is truly an angel that has helped me. I wish him the best for the future and his business.

Starting a new venture, within a new country, and how to go about maneuvering the legal and contracts landscape was where I found myself needing a lawyer. I needed someone who could understand the complexities and culture of the venture. I was referred to EM Law and I am grateful that I met Neil. He listened to me and took time to understand what the business was and what it was that I wanted. He explained to me the legal documents in a simple language and made sure I understood what was needed for the legal side of things. He was prompt on replies and clarification of matters. I highly recommend him and his team.
Alex Mosley, Director Perrygate Property Limited
Neil and Lauren were both very helpful in drafting contracts I needed for my firm. They both took the time to understand the business and asked the right questions. Very efficient and friendly service and I was kept updated on progress at all times. Would definitely use again.

Imogen has always given me sound, objective and carefully considered legal advice as well valuable, confidence-boosting life coaching. I would recommend her counsel to anyone in a heartbeat.
Neil Dillon Director Data Conscious
I approached EM Law to help produce a standard form agreement for our consultants to sign up to. Their work was really high quality. I got all the contractors signed up in a short space of time, and the contracts they drew up have given me peace of mind that I have something to fall back on in case any delivery issues arise. Also really appreciated the speed of their work and their responsiveness to the specifics of my business.
Nick Small Director Nick Small Consulting
Neil and I worked alongside each other for several years securing software business overseas for Crown Agents. He was a huge asset. He made things happen quickly in some very challenging environments – tying up contracts, helping with tenders and he was always very commercial. But it wasn’t just his technical ability I valued – he was a great person to travel with.
Sarah Francis former owner and director of Sifex
I cannot speak too highly of EM Law and Neil Williamson in particular. He was 100% responsive, reliable, reassuring and remarkably patient in the handling of my case and under his watchful eye matters were successfully concluded. I am extremely grateful and have no hesitation in recommending him as an expert in his field. I have, in the past, also received guidance from Imogen Finnegan on employment law with the same level of professionalism and the same successful result.
Prawarisa Wasutrasawat founder Original Me Limited
I approached Neil to support me with new business contracts and service agreements. Neil dealt with my case professionally and acted with the utmost integrity. It was evident he put in extra time to research my business and industry to understand the unique challenges. His attention to detail was vital in identifying legal risks and he was swift to mitigate them. I would definitely recommend him.
LC, Director at a Management Consultancy
Imogen is a fantastic employment lawyer. Clear, supportive and very skilled in her area. Imogen is not like other lawyers. She explains the law and its potential outcomes in a way that is approachable, and from which you can make decisions. Imogen also advises on the decision making process, playing out the situations that might arise and how one might overcome these. Most importantly, Imogen is pragmatic to a fault. Unlike other lawyers and law firms, she understands that employment law can be a sensitive topic and she translates the law into activities and actions that are best for any one individual and their situation. She is available, reassuring and extremely mature and well versed in her handling of cases. I cannot recommend Imogen highly enough.
Rob Crowley MD Anexsys Ltd
EM Law have supported Anexsys with a number of legal issues, ranging from drafting complex IT contracts to developing conflict policies and advising on a range of complex multi-jurisdiction legal issues. As a reactive technology business supporting large law firms we need a responsive law firm and lawyer who can quickly develop a knowledge of our business requirements, understand and present the risks, and develop a suitable resolution. Neil has taken the time to understand the eclectic nature of our business and our end clients and is able to advise on sensible and pragmatic solutions, enabling me to make effective decisions confident that risk has been minimised. I would strongly recommend EM Law to anyone looking for a law firm that takes the time to understand ongoing risks and issues and provide elegant solutions.
VR, Nutritional Chef and Culinary Manager
What can I say about Imogen? She was the shining star in what was a very difficult time for me. From the moment I got in touch with her (during a bank holiday weekend) right through to closure (late on a Friday night) she made herself entirely available to speak to me, and offer sound words of legal advice (and sometimes counselling too!) at all times of day. Her reliability and dependability is quite standout. What’s more, the professional nature of her advice is outstanding. She takes the time to understand the subtle nuances of what is going on, determine the best strategy (offering you options depending on your personal sentiments) and then helps you execute this flawlessly whilst providing a solid understanding of the basic legalities behind what is going on. I am delighted with the agreement reached with Imogen’s excellent help and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone and everyone.
SM, Recruitment Manager
Learning that you are to be made redundant whilst on maternity leave is a horrible prospect. Then add to that having to find a lawyer to help navigate the process and ensure that you are being treated fairly makes it all even more intimidating. So I felt incredibly fortunate to have come across Imogen. She was fantastic at helping at every juncture – I felt totally confident in her ability to help me negotiate the best deal and so much more at ease knowing she was there to advise. She is hugely knowledgeable and understanding, and I couldn’t have got through it without her. I hope that I’ll never be in a similar situation again but know that I would always contact Imogen if I were. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.”SM, Recruitment Manager
Claire Goodwin Director CG Consultancy

I just wanted to thank Imogen Finnegan for providing guidance on the overall process and facilitating such a smooth exit from my former company.

There was a sense of urgency and accuracy in all communications that really helped in clarifying the various options open to me. The result was more than positive and I would not hesitate in recommending EM Law in the future.

Having never used a solicitor around work-related matters before, I reached out to several firms. EM Law was very quick to come back to me in a friendly yet professional manner. They immediately put me at ease, reviewed my case before even quoting a price for the work and got everything sorted within a couple of days. A great and painless experience! Thank you to Suzy and Neil for getting this all done so easily and in a way that even I could understand.
