Emily Murray Achieves Distinction in Family Law Assessment


We are delighted to share that Emily Murray, Solicitor in our Family Law Team has successfully completed the Family Law Microcredential course, achieving an outstanding 97% and a Distinction.

This comprehensive qualification covers a wide range of modern family law issues and enhances the depth of support we can offer to clients. Key areas of study and assessment included:

  • Dissolution of marriage and civil partnerships – understanding the legal basis and procedural steps involved in divorce and dissolution.

  • Financial orders on divorce – assessing matrimonial assets, financial provisions, maintenance arrangements and the implications for clients.

  • Mediation in family law cases – recognising different mediation routes, their suitability, and how to guide clients exploring alternative dispute resolution.

  • Domestic abuse and protective orders – identifying signs of abuse and advising on appropriate legal remedies and safeguarding measures.

  • Forced marriage protections – statutory frameworks, protection orders and the support available to those at risk.

  • Non-agency adoption – legal processes, consent requirements and considerations around post-adoption contact.

  • Modern family law – including assisted conception, surrogacy and the legal structures supporting today’s diverse family dynamics.

Emily’s achievement reflects her dedication to professional development and her commitment to delivering exceptional client care. This additional expertise further strengthens our Family Law offering and ensures we continue to provide informed, compassionate and up-to-date advice.

We are incredibly proud of Emily and congratulate her on this remarkable accomplishment.
