Emma leads the transaction tax team at Wilson Wright, who joined with BKL in 2024 to become our City of London office.

Applying her deep knowledge of personal and business tax, Emma works with owner managed businesses at every stage of their lifecycle. She advises on a wide variety of commercial issues including:

  • Restructuring corporate groups (domestically and internationally)

  • Incentivising and keeping key members of staff – enterprise management incentive schemes (EMI) and enterprise investment schemes (EIS)
  • Attracting external investment

She has particular experience in the technology, media, recruitment and pharmaceutical industries, including what’s believed to be the UK’s first cryptocurrency acquisition.

Through her pragmatic commercial advice, Emma prioritises clients’ best interests. Her attention to detail, and her skill at explaining complex technical matters, make her a trusted and reassuring adviser.
