Emily Wright

Emily Wright represents individual and business clients in a variety of civil litigation matters, touching areas of law including fiduciary liability, complex contract disputes, and business torts.

Emily counsels clients throughout the litigation process, from pre-litigation preparation to final appeal. She uses her creativity to solve her clients’ problems – focusing on achieving the long-term results her clients seek. Often, litigation is an unexpected obstacle that gets in the way of business.
