Gemma is currently on maternity leave. Please contact another member of the Family team in her stead.

Gemma is a Senior Associate in our Horsham office. Gemma joined the firm in January 2022, having trained at a leading regional firm before working at two top tier boutique family practices in London and Brighton. 

Gemma is a specialist advising on all areas of family law including divorce and separation (often involving jurisdiction issues), complex financial matters involving business and trust assets, drafting pre and post nuptial agreements, and children matters including internal and external relocation, wardship and child abduction. 

Gemma has developed a reputation in international work. She is often instructed to advise clients who are ‘forum shopping’, selecting the most appropriate jurisdiction to start divorce and financial remedy proceedings. She is used to consulting and working alongside family practitioners abroad. 

Gemma has had articles published in the LexisNexis International Family Law Journal and The Law Gazette on a range of international topics. 

Gemma is committed to alternative dispute resolution and in March 2020 completed her training as a Collaborative Lawyer. 

Gemma is client and solution focussed, she is known for having a clear strategy and a sensible and effective approach to enable her to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients. Gemma’s client’s have described her as “warm”, “empathetic” and “versatile” in her practice.

Thank you so much for all of your kindness, support and expert advice throughout my divorce process. You helped make a very tough time more manageable knowing that I had you in my corner and I will be forever grateful. From your guidance, I feel satisfied with the settlement and ready to move on.
