Emily Kapoor

Spear’s Review

Emily Kapoor was identified by Spear’s as a ‘Rising Star’ in 2014, when she was a senior associate at Withers, and she has been in the ascendant ever since.

Following a stint with Schillings, Kapoor became a founding partner of Katz Partners in 2019, along with Davina Katz and David Greer. ‘We’re not a full-service law firm; we’re family lawyers,’ says Kapoor. ‘This is all we do, and I think clients increasingly see the benefit of that. That everything we do is tailored to them.’

Kapoor is well versed in all aspects of family law, but she has a particular specialism in high-value financial claims as a result of divorce with complex wealth structures at play, as well as children law.

‘Clients feel supported by us,’ she says. ‘They feel as if they’re treated as individuals. They know who we all are; we’re a very small team. We work collaboratively, so they have the benefit of us all working together.’
