I’m a commercial and commercial property solicitor and partner with 20 years of experience with clients large and small.

I’m experienced in dealing with all aspects of commercial law including business sales (asset and share sales and purchases), structures, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, bespoke contracts such as distribution and manufacturing agreements, joint venture agreements, business Terms & Conditions and settlement agreements.

I also deal with every aspect of commercial property law from site assembly, planning, development, acquisitions, disposals, option agreements, conditional contracts, joint venture build agreements, leases, SIPP/SSAS and commercial funding.

My passion is working with business with a value on renewables, ethical trade, repurposing, recycling and / or sustainability.

I pride myself on building long lasting relationships with my clients, understanding their history and aspirations helping me to support them with clear and sound commercial and strategic advice delivered with common sense.

Before joining Wollens, I completed my training contract with a large national firm, qualifying into their commercial property department in Manchester. Whilst there I was seconded to the Commonwealth Games Committee to finalise the commercial contracts to put on the games from advertising to suppliers to venues.

During this time, I married my husband James, who is from Devon, and made the move to the South West 17 years ago and started a family. The best decisions I ever made!

Since then, I worked for another large regional firm based in North Devon as a partner in their commercial department for South West and national clients.

I’ve also been appointed at the Legal Director onto the board of Devon Football Association.

When I’m not working, I spend my time with my family and enjoy most sports but particularly those involving water from surfing, boating on the river Dart, and swimming.

I also enjoy skiing and snowboarding.

Testimonials

Emma is a fantastic professional with great legal knowledge, we engaged Emma for her expertise in the separation of title deeds and purchases, delivered within in the time scale agreed. The service provided was efficient and first class and was a pleasure to deal with.
we will be using Emma for all our future projects and would highly recommend.

Trusted Wollens with the sale of my share of a business that I had started from scratch some 20 years ago so as you can imagine this was quite a sensitive journey for me. Have never done anything like this before so didn’t know quite what to expect, expectations and reality are quite different, but Wollens have your best interests at heart so you can’t rush a good job. The sale has now all gone through and I can move on with the next part of my life. I thank Wollens and both Emma’s very much for all their hard work.

Emma Reed is great – we use Wollens because of her. She is totally trustworthy and has never dropped the ball for us on anything. She is very approachable, flexible and commercial.

We’ve recently worked closely with Emma Reed and her team, specifically Hayley Green, on several different deals. We found Emma to be very approachable, and diligent. We really valued Emma and Hayley talking a straightforward non-legal language, enabling us to understand the documents and make the decisions we actually wanted.

Emma is a brilliant solicitor, we have worked together on numerous occaions across a variety of projects, I would highly recommend Emma and Wollens to handle your commercial concerns.
