Gemma advises clients on complex offshore disputes, insolvency matters and international arbitration across Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands.

Gemma advises financial institutions, multi-national businesses, insolvency practitioners and ultra-high-net-worth individuals on some of the most complex and high-value disputes across Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands. She has significant experience in both offshore and English High Court proceedings and regularly advises on disputes that span multiple jurisdictions, involve substantial assets and require strategic coordination across parallel proceedings.

Gemma's practice includes civil fraud, shareholder and joint venture disputes, contentious restructurings and insolvencies, asset recovery and enforcement actions, and international arbitration. She has acted in cases involving allegations of fraud, conspiracy, dishonest assistance, breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of confidential information, and disputes arising from financing arrangements, major construction and infrastructure projects, and complex corporate structures.

Recognised for her ability to bring clarity to legally and factually complex disputes, Gemma is particularly adept at managing large teams and diverse stakeholder groups on long-running, high-value matters. Her technical expertise, commercial judgement and pragmatic approach allows our clients to navigate challenging cross-border issues with confidence.
