About Gemma

Gemma is a Managing Associate in the family team and has specialised in financial matters and arrangements for children since 2007. Every client’s situation is unique, and Gemma’s clients appreciate how she tailors her approach to their individual needs. Whilst she is supremely confident dealing firmly with court proceedings, many of her cases are settled using alternative methods, such as negotiation between solicitors or mediation, which resolves matters quickly and with much less cost. “Gemma was fantastic during my divorce” “I felt well advised throughout and was particularly impressed by her manner. I feel very lucky to have had Gemma as my legal team.”

The high calibre of her work means she has been recognised by legal directories, being a Recommended Lawyer in the Legal 500 (2022 edition) and previously one of their ‘Next Generation’ lawyers.

Gemma has extensive experience in achieving successful financial settlements for her clients on separation or divorce, particularly where there are complicating factors. These include businesses, property portfolios (both commercial and private), inherited wealth (including loans from parents and other relatives) and overseas assets such as properties and pensions, in areas such as Europe, the US and offshore in Jersey and Bermuda.

Her clients regularly include business owners, directors and shareholders, investment property owners, academics and teachers, medical professionals, scientists, and members of the uniformed services (such as military and police). Her work frequently involves neurodiverse adults and/or children.

Gemma has a particular specialism in advising the rural sector and farmers on family matters. She is known for skilfully dealing with the unique issues that can arise, both in terms of the protection of  assets before marriage and their division upon separation and divorce. As a farmer’s daughter and committee member of an award-winning farmers market, Gemma fully understands the challenges faced by this sector.

She is passionate about advising clients wishing to protect their wealth by way of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, approaching these documents with sensitivity and developing them to ultimately provide support for the relationship.

Gemma also specialises in working with parents to put in place practical and legal arrangements for their children.  This can often include dealing with issues such as coercive control, substance abuse, addiction, safeguarding concerns, emotional abuse and depression including suicide threats, as well as international movements. She focuses on finding solutions that work for the individual family.
