Family

Gemma represents local authorities, children, parents, extended family members, and, on occasions, foster carers, at all stages of care proceedings and appeals.

She has dealt with applications for leave to oppose adoption, post-adoption/placement contact, discharge of care orders, forced marriage protection orders, and deprivation of liberty.

Gemma undertook financial remedies and TOLATA work before relocating to the Midlands from Harcourt Chambers. She is now relaunching her practice in this area, having benefited from shadowing senior members of the family finance team in recent months.

She has previous experience of matters involving trusts, assets located overseas, insolvency, third party interests, inheritance, pre-acquired wealth, capacity issues and representation through the official solicitor.
