Emma Bettles - Partner

Emma is a Partner in our Commercial Property team.

Emma has experience across all aspects of commercial property work, specialising in development work (both residential and commercial), property and secured lending, and renewable energy matters. Most recently, Emma worked in-house for developers and borrowers, but is equally confident and experienced working for landowners and lenders.

Emma achieved an LLB (Hons) from the Open University before studying the LPC at The College of Law, London, subsequently qualifying into the real estate finance team of a leading regional firm in Cambridge in July 2007. After a nine-month secondment to a bank’s legal team in London, Emma has continued to work in commercial real estate in the East Anglia region. Most recently, Emma was employed by a medium-sized property and renewable energy business as their sole in-house legal counsel.

Emma is approachable and takes time to understand clients’ needs, enabling her to tailor advice to each client.

Emma enjoys working closely with the client and other parties to achieve the required outcome, and she finds it rewarding to see a completed development she worked on from the early stages.

Outside of work, Emma has a busy family life with a husband, four children, two dogs and a cat. As a family, they all play golf, and in her free time, Emma’s working hard on improving her golf to keep pace with the children.
