Emma Fielding is delighted to have achieved a great result for a client through a proactive approach working with Serena Joshi of Charles Strachan Solicitors. Accused of obstructing a police drug search, despite no drugs actually being found, a robust defence statement and strategic approach to disclosure resulted in the crown reviewing the case and offering no evidence. This saved the client an 11-month wait for a wholly unnecessary trial.    More information on Emma here: https://lnkd.in/e5sxagFn

Today marks 15 years to the day that I started my career with The 36 Group, and I am incredibly humbled by and grateful for all the support and opportunities that have been given to me by these Chambers over the past 15 years.    I started back in June 2009, as a temporary Junior Clerk (covering maternity leave for a six-month period). I often joke that Chambers have since forgotten that I am still around and I’ve just kept coming in every day since that temporary contract ended. In truth, however, over those 15 years I have been entrusted with opportunities beyond my own expectations to progress my career and develop into the role I occupy today.    I have been extremely fortunate that opportunities have arisen for me here at the right times, but perhaps more fortunate is the fact that I landed in a Chambers who were so willing to look after their staff, reward hard work, and be innovative in their approach.    When I walked into the front door 15 years ago, I really wasn’t sure it was going to work out, but people taking the time to support and encourage me over the past 15 years have played a significant role in my career to date. You never quite know the impact that a small piece of advice or encouragement can have, and I sincerely hope that I can do the same for others.   Here’s to the next 15.
