St John's Chambers

Family Law

Call: 2019 Georgina is a specialist family law barrister who acts in all areas of private family law, specifically financial remedy proceedings, private children disputes, issues of jurisdiction including international child relocation, cohabitation disputes and applications under the FLA 1996 (domestic violence). Georgina has recently been nominated for ‘Family Law Young Barrister of the Year’ at the Family Law Awards 2025.

Georgina is ranked in the Legal 500 as a “Rising Star (Tier 1)” in both financial remedy and children matters. She has been described as being wise beyond her years, excellent with clients in the most difficult situations, having an in-depth knowledge of the law and being a fierce opponent in court, with advocacy skills that help to secure the best outcome for her clients. Georgina regularly appears against significantly more senior barristers at leading family chambers.

Georgina assisted on cases in the High Court and Court of Appeal, including Hudson v Hathway [2022] EWCA Civ 1648 during her pupillage under the supervision of Zoë Saunders, and has since appeared in the High Court herself regularly. Georgina was also instructed in the case of WX v HX [2023] EWFC 279 in the pre-trail and committal hearing before the reported decision.

Prior to joining Chambers, Georgina worked at a leading London law firm in Mayfair, specialising in financial remedies and private children law for ultra-high net worth clients. The cases which Georgina assisted with had complex financial structures, often had an international element and either concerned pre-nuptial agreements or had substantial asset Part III claims.

Georgina has written for Family Law Week and recently gave a seminar to the Bristol Junior Lawyers Division. She will be providing a private law case update at our forthcoming family law conference, as well as appearing on the St John’s Family Law Pod soon.

Before deciding to pursue a career at the Bar, Georgina was a professional dressage rider, a member of the Junior/Young Rider Great Britain Dressage Squads and was selected for the British Equestrian Federation Talent Squad.
