Prior to joining JML, Emily practiced at a national law firm in the areas of commercial litigation, product liability, insolvency, administrative law and construction law.

When not working, Emily can be found enjoying BC’s nature by skiing or hiking, or waking up ridiculously early on a Sunday morning to watch Formula 1.
