Wrapped up my first 2‑day week back at work after maternity leave. Feeling proud, excited, tired and caffeinated in equal measure. Here’s to finding a new rhythm, one day at a time

[Emma Hopton @emmal_bates]

Excited to be back from maternity and visiting our Manchester office today. Life’s a little different now (hello nursery runs and sleep-optional nights!), but I’m ready to find my rhythm and make an impact in this next chapter.
Here’s to strong coffee and working parent life!

Cohabiting Couples are receiving 'inferior protection' upon the breakdown of relationships and many just do not understand their rights, the system or the complex property rules which often govern their relationships.
