Emsleys announces a new head of family law and dispute resolution specialist who launches a business crime and regulatory work services offering.
Emsleys Solicitors, welcomes new head of family law, Rosalind Blaza, and new dispute resolution legal specialist, Ikram Amin, to the team.
Rosalind Blaza
Rosalind has over 20 years post qualification experience in civil litigation gained nationally, specialising in Family Law from 2010 onwards. Rosalind gained her Law Society Family Law panel accreditation in recognition of her experience in dealing with divorce and financial cases including complex high net asset cases with an emphasis on significant agricultural farming and commercial assets.
Rosalind has also led complex children cases and is a member of Resolution.
Rosalind says ‘I am delighted to join Emsleys and start growing our new family team. We have a number of new recruits in our area, so it feels like we have the opportunity to rejuvenate the team, based on all our unique experiences coming together.
‘Our combination of experiences means we are well placed to serve clients who need support with their family arrangements, whether that is arranging property and financial assets, or helping to find suitable solutions for children.
‘Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes, and they require an individual approach to their situations. At Emsleys, our commitment to excellent client experience means we take the time to find out what is right foreach client and reach the best conclusion for them.
‘Separations can be a very confusing and stressful time, and these days many people are looking to start the process themselves online due to the No Fault Divorce changes last year, making things quicker and simpler for those who can achieve an amicable split. However, this is not always possible when there are significant assets or children to consider. Walking away with a final order of divorce and no other agreement about the finances in place, can leave parties vulnerable to future financial claims from their ex-spouse – even for assets gained after the marriage has ended. There are many legal rights to consider for couples, who aren’t married but have lived together or for blended families wanting to understand their rights to relationships with their children, not always biological. The law is not straightforward or as simple as one may think. It is always best to speak to an experienced expert in the field, and that is exactly what we’re here for.’
Emsleys Family department also saw the arrival of experienced support colleagues, Ellie Wheelton and Beverley Danby in recent months.
Ikram Amin
Emsleys also welcomes the appointment of Ikram Amin, who joins Emsleys after gaining over 20 years of experience in dispute resolution, property litigation, employment, business crime and regulatory work. Ikram’s expertise brings further specialist experience to Emsleys.
Ikram will be offering services to businesses and individuals who are looking for legal defence support for challenges covering a number of industries and issues including: Fraud, Health and Safety, Trading Standards, HMRC/VAT investigations and GMC/HCPTS (General Medical Council/Health and Care Professionals Tribunal Service) fitness to practise investigations.
He says, ‘I am excited to join the team at Emsleys and be able to offer high quality defence advice and representation for local businesses and individuals and continue to strengthen Emsleys’ reputation for excellent client experience.’
Managing director, Andrew Greenwood, says ‘I am pleased to welcome Rosalind and Ikram to the Emsleys team, they are both very experienced solicitors and bring with them a wealth of knowledge that enhances our areas of work.
