'I have worked mainly with Emmanuelle Ries as my solicitor on my discrimination case. She was very helpful throughout the whole process, responsive to my emails, and provided good advice. It always felt like a two-way relationship where Emmanuelle was an active listener to the issues and provided options as to the best course of action. I would highly recommend her to anyone and already have!'
