Ania is an M&A expert and Corporate Partner, and Emma is a top-quality Financial Markets Litigation Partner.

Both Emma and Ania are Partners at the leading law firm, Simmons & Simmons, and together they co-head Simmons’ award-winning womens’ network, The Number One Club.

The three of them discuss:

  •  Ania & Emma’s backgrounds and how they both got into law.
  • Why The Number One Club (TNOC) was founded.
  •  How people (not just lawyers!) can get involved with TNOC.
  •  The multiple positive effects TNOC has had within Simmons & Simmons.
  •  TNOC’s many successes including recently being recognised as a Times Top 50 Employer for Women! They have also received over 9 different nominations at the Women in Law awards!
  •  How Ania & Emma manage their time and the many positive effects TNOC has had on running their practices.
  •  Some of their positive yet amusing legal market recognition quotes over the years!


Thank you to Emma and Ania for sharing  more about TNOC and their successful legal journeys to reaching Partnership!
