Emily Samuels

I advise clients on a broad range of public law and regulatory matters. I qualified in 2025, having previously spent two years as a paralegal in the team.

Recent highlights include:

• Advising a UK organisation on regulatory licensing reforms and the merits of a potential public law challenge.
• Advising clients in relation to sensitive inquests connected to online harms, as well as managing a large-scale data review exercise and working closely with internal legal and communications teams. 
• Advising a pharmaceuticals client on compliance with professional licensing regulations.  
• Working on multiple high-profile public inquiries including managing complex disclosure processes, liaising with key stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with data protection obligations.
• Drafting several witness statements for individuals and corporates involved in inquest and inquiry proceedings.

During my training at Fieldfisher, I gained experience in public and regulatory law, private client, tax and incentives along with a six-month secondment to Fieldfisher_X in Berlin where I assisted with the training of legal technology models. I have a particular interest in the technology sector.
