Emma Brown

Emma graduated from New York Law School in 2020. During law school, she participated in the school’s Mediation Clinic and gained valuable experience working with a boutique matrimonial law firm in New York City and clerking for a New York State Supreme Court Justice.

In addition to working at Berkman Bottger Newman and Schein, Emma also volunteers with the Center for Battered Women’s Legal Services at Sanctuary for Families, where she assists survivors of domestic violence with matrimonial matters, including issues involving child custody and child support. 

Emma practices exclusively in the areas of matrimonial and family law, representing clients in a wide range of matters both in and out of court. She primarily works on Manhattan cases but she also represents clients all over New York state. She is committed to helping clients navigate complex and often deeply personal family-law matters while pursuing practical, thoughtful, and effective resolutions.

In addition to representing clients in negotiations and litigation, Emma has experience serving as both a mediator and a consulting attorney in mediation. She also regularly advises clients in connection with the negotiation and preparation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, helping them thoughtfully address financial and other issues before and during marriage.
