Ema Francisco, associate in Bedell Cristin's International Private Client team, has been shortlisted for the 2025 Jersey Rising Star awards, which celebrate Jersey’s brightest young talent across the professional services sector.
Ema’s nomination recognises her remarkable impact both within the firm and across the local legal and finance community. Known for her meticulous attention to detail, professionalism and approachability, Ema consistently exceeds expectations and is highly valued by colleagues and clients alike.
Her contributions extend beyond her legal practice as she plays a key role in mentoring new trainees, has hosted a knowledge-sharing event for Jersey’s emerging finance professionals, and is an active member of STEP NextGen. Ema also gives back through charitable initiatives, including running the London Half Marathon to raise funds and supporting the annual Shoebox Appeal.
Sevyn Kalsi, partner in our IPC team said, “I’m thrilled to see Ema get this independent recognition - in a relatively short time in our team she has had a significant impact and continues to deliver at the level of a more experienced lawyer."
Ema joined Bedell Cristin through our student bursary scheme and became one of the first to qualify via our trainee programme. Her development and dedication exemplify the talent we strive to nurture and support.
