EMW Law has appointed Laura Martin-Read as head of its Family law team, reinforcing the firm’s position in the increasingly competitive private wealth market in Milton Keynes.
The appointment strengthens EMW Law’s Individuals and Families Group at a time when Family law work is often intertwined with business ownership and structured wealth. In Milton Keynes, where many clients are entrepreneurs or senior executives, divorce law cases frequently involve company interests, pension structures and complex tax arrangements.
Laura brings more than 15 years’ experience in Family law. She advises high-net-worth individuals on divorce, separation and high-value financial claims. Her work also covers disputes involving children, as well as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and cohabitation arrangements.
She is particularly experienced in matters where personal and corporate finances converge. Therefore, cases involving business assets require both technical precision and commercial awareness. Consequently, Legal services in this space demand a careful balance between protecting wealth and achieving fair outcomes.
A Resolution accredited specialist, Laura is known for her measured approach. She prioritises tailored, pragmatic solutions and favours out-of-court dispute resolution where possible. However, she has extensive experience conducting litigation when necessary.
James Geary, managing partner at EMW Law, said: “Laura’s arrival marks a huge step forward for our Family team. She has an outstanding reputation for guiding clients through complex and emotive matters with professionalism and care. Her leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver an exceptional, client focused service, and we’re thrilled to have her on board.”
Laura said: “I’m delighted to join EMW Law and lead the Family team. Supporting clients through complex and sensitive moments is a real privilege, and I’m excited to contribute to the growth of the Individuals and Families Group.”
Her appointment underlines EMW Law’s continued investment in Milton Keynes as it develops its private wealth and Legal services offering. As professional advisers across accountancy and wealth management increasingly collaborate on complex cases, specialist Family law expertise has become central to that ecosystem.
