Gemma is particularly passionate about supporting older and vulnerable clients, with extensive experience handling complex capacity issues. She also serves as the South West Regional Director of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers and Vice Chair of STEP West of England.

Pippa Allsop, who has been with the Firm since 2012, is a seasoned member of the Family team.
