Marija Emberson

Overview

I am an Associate Solicitor specialising in complex commercial litigation matters.

Prior to joining Mourant I worked at Foot Anstey LLP where I specialised in Banking and Finance litigation and regularly provided a bespoke advice to banks and lenders, including Islamic Banks, on various breaches under financial services agreements (including Shariah-compliant facilities), defaults under asset finance agreements in respect of both regulated and unregulated loans.

Prior to obtaining a Graduate Diploma in Law and qualifying as a Solicitor I worked as Employment Associate Paralegal at Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP within WBD Advance for 5 years. As Employment Paralegal I assisted lawyers with all aspects of employment tribunal claims. Other part of my role as Associate and Interim Managing Paralegal involved coordination and quality checking of volume litigation projects, including e-disclosures and DSARs, resource management and general provision of alternative legal services.
