South West legal firm Amicus Law has promoted Residential Conveyancer Emily House to the Head of Office for its Taunton branch.
Previously responsible for residential conveyancing at the firm’s busy Bridgwater office, she will now lead a multidisciplinary team of 18 employees based at Hammet Street in Taunton.
Emily said: “I’m proud to take on the role of Head of Office in Taunton. Since joining Amicus Law, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside a fantastic team in Bridgwater and have been given opportunities to develop and progress. This promotion is an exciting next step in my career. 
“While my background is in residential conveyancing, I’m looking forward to leading a multidisciplinary team and supporting colleagues across a range of legal services. It’s a fantastic opportunity to broaden my experience while continuing to deliver the high standards of client care and service that are so important to us.
“We’ve built real momentum as a business and I’m excited to contribute to the continued success and growth of the Taunton office. My focus will be on supporting the team, strengthening relationships within the local community and ensuring we continue to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
Since joining Amicus Law in 2021, Emily has progressed rapidly through the firm, becoming its youngest associate at the age of 24 in October 2025. Following this latest promotion, she is now the youngest head of office within the business.
Claire Lovett, Managing Partner at Amicus Law, said: “Emily’s promotion is thoroughly deserved and reflects the exceptional contribution she has made to the firm since joining us. She has consistently demonstrated outstanding technical ability, professionalism and a genuine commitment to delivering the highest standards of client care.
“Her progression to Associate at such a young age was a significant achievement, and she has continued to exceed our expectations through her leadership, commercial success and positive influence on those around her.
“Emily’s ability to manage a substantial caseload while maintaining excellent client feedback and supporting the wider team is particularly impressive. She has built strong relationships with clients, estate agents and professional contacts, helping to strengthen our reputation and drive our continued growth.
“She is an excellent role model for her colleagues, and her energy, ambition and dedication make her a valuable asset to the business. I have no doubt she will continue to thrive and play a key role in the future success of Amicus Law.”
