OUR TEAM
Emma Sackville and Kristy Strouts are the directors of the Firm. We are committed to providing a quality service to our clients regardless of means. We have a franchise with the Legal Aid Agency to offer legal aid in some areas of law. We will carry out a legal aid eligibility assessment during your initial consultation. If a client is not eligible for legal aid we will discuss alternative methods of funding your case at competitive rates, including offering fixed fee services.
Emma Sackville
DIRECTOR and head of Criminal defence team
I qualified as a solicitor in 1994 and have worked in criminal defence throughout my career. I trained with a firm in North London but in 2000, I came back to my south-east London roots, and set up the criminal defence department of Morrison Spowart. I am a duty solicitor and a member of the LCCSA (London Criminal Courts Solicitors Association) and the YPA (Youth Practitioners Association). I have worked on some high-profile cases but I am equally dedicated to getting the best results for every client I represent. I feel very strongly that everyone should have equal access to justice. I am very lucky to be able to do a job I love.
Kristy Strouts
DIRECTOR and head of Family Law team
I have been working in family law in Kent and South East London since 2002. I have extensive experience in this area, having dealt with Children Act proceedings as well as divorces and complex private children law matters and managed a number of offices and teams. I frequently undertake my own advocacy including contested final hearings. I am a member of the Law Society’s Family Law Panel and the Children Panel which means I can be instructed by Guardians.

In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues.

- Within six months of receiving our final response to your complaint
and - No more than one year from the date of the act or omission being complained about;
or - No more than one year from the date when you should reasonably have known that there was cause for complaint.
