Personal bio

I am a leading family law silk and have worked exclusively in cases involving children in private and public law disputes for over 25 years. My chambers at 42BR is in London where arbitrations can take place in person or remotely. I can also travel to a venue agreed by the clients if preferred. I am ranked in the legal directories as a leading silk. Legal 500 2024 states "Gemma's integrity and independence of mindsets are a standard few can match. She carries herself in court with a quiet confidence that commands everyone's respect and attention". And "She has an astute legal brain and her cross-examination is penetrating. She's the full package." (Chambers and Partners 2024). I have represented parents for decades and have a good understanding of the challenges that litigation presents for parents. I am a trained facilitator for the FLBA vulnerable witness course. I have extensive experience of family disputes of all kinds and complexities and am a firm believer in the benefits of ADR.
