I am a dual-qualified lawyer specialising in residential conveyancing. I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2020 and a Licensed Conveyancer in 2023, and have over 11 years’ experience in dealing with a variety residential conveyancing transactions. I have worked in Bristol and South Gloucestershire for my whole career, and still work remotely in Bristol.

A great experience
We are first time buyers and Emma had the patience of a saint when it came to answering our questions. She was informative and extremely productive throughout.
Wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and recommend to others.

Exceptional Service from Emma at Elite Law Solicitors
We recently worked with Emma at Elite Law Solicitors for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and the service we received was nothing short of outstanding.
From the outset, Emma was professional, approachable, and incredibly well-organised. She guided us through every stage of the conveyancing process with clarity and confidence, ensuring we always understood what was happening and what was needed. Her attention to detail and proactive communication gave us complete peace of mind during what can often be a very stressful time.
Emma was always quick to respond to queries, chased up third parties promptly, and kept everything moving efficiently — even when faced with unexpected challenges. Her dedication and thorough approach made the entire experience smooth and straightforward.
Thanks to Emma’s hard work and expertise, we were able to complete our move on time and with minimal stress. We’re extremely grateful for her support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and the team at Elite Law Solicitors to anyone buying or selling a home.
Thank you again, Emma, for your outstanding service!

High quality service
Having had a bad experience with hidden charges with another law firm, we switched over to Emma at Elite Law Solicitors roughly 4 weeks into our house purchase. Initial thoughts were that she was very approachable and understanding of our situation and eager to help us. Throughout the coming weeks of service, Emma was very communicative and always available, usually responding to queries within a day or two. She was also very open to changes to. Specifically, we moved mortgage provider following exchange and she accommodated the change, enabling us to get a better rate. I would use Emma and ELS services again.

Conveyancing Procedures for the purchase of s new property.
Many many thanks to Emma Leighton - Carey of Elite Law Solicitors in the complete handling of matters in the purchase of our new property.
Emma responded to queries and e-mails very promptly, even when she was "out of office" on training courses she found the time to respond often within minutes.
She was extremely knowledgeable, confident, and things happened when she said they would.
The whole process of house purchase conveyancing was made very easy and understandable thanks to the input of professional lady.
We dealt solely with Emma and so there was no being passed of to other people in the organisation
Personally we feel that using ELS resulted in a very quick and stress free procedure.
Well done Emma, thank you very much for your much appreciated input and help, if we could give you seven stars we would.

Excellent service
Emma was brilliant from start to finish. She dealt with the purchase of our new build house and went above and beyond to ensure we exchanged in a timely manner and kept us informed the entire time. Her communications were fantastic and she made herself available to help us during the most important times and would always reply at her earliest convenience if away from her desk/work. We would recommend Emma to friends and family without a question.
