Firm’s second office opens in Newcastle

North East firm EMG Solicitors is growing its network with the opening of its second office in Newcastle.

Launched in 2014, EMG Solicitors has operated from its head office in Durham, and has now expanded with its first branch in the city of Newcastle. The office will be headed by director Samantha Edward (left), who has been with EMG since 2016; she specialises in wills, powers of attorney, mental capacity, estate and trust administration along with inheritance tax planning and asset protection.

EMG’s managing director Emma Gaudern (right) said: ‘We have a clear strategy about where we want to go and opening a second office has always been a part of that. We spent a long time thinking about where our second office should be, but we felt a real affinity for Gosforth and that we would fit into the community well.

‘It will make it easier to see clients in the north of the region closer to their base and also should open up a range of opportunities to engage with new clients.’
