Meet the lawyer behind Ready to Boss Legal
Hi, I'm Emma Heuston
An old boss used to call me the 'smiling assassin' when I was a litigator – friendly on the surface, but fierce when it came to protecting my clients' interests.
There’s no litigation for me these days – instead, I channel that fierce energy into empowering Australian entrepreneurs like you.
Because after more than 25 years practising law in Australia, I've seen what happens when small business owners try to wing it without proper legal protection.
I've also seen the overwhelm that comes with traditional legal services – the jargon, the billable hours, the complexity.
That's why I created Ready to Boss Legal: to help you get that confident 'boss face' without the legal stress.

*I'm a lawyer admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW, but I no longer hold a practising certificate because I’ve chosen to focus on legal education and publishing legal templates to empower small business owners.
“I believe every business deserves access to clear, confident legal foundations – without the fuss, overwhelm, or sky-high legal fees."

Behind the scenes…
Away from the office, I'm wife to Ed, mum to athletics-obsessed teen Oscar, devoted servant to dachshunds Barnaby and Polly, plus rescue cat Violet.
I also run a small earrings business called *Cute Stuff By Law* where I unleash my wild creativity with acrylics. You can check out my designs here.
