Overview
Georgina was called to the Bar by Lincoln’s Inn in March 2022 and joined Chambers as a pupil in September 2022. Following successful completion of her pupillage, Georgina was invited to join as a full member in February 2024.
Crime
Georgina has a busy general crime practice and is regularly instructed to prosecute and defend in the Crown Court, Youth Court and Magistrates’ Court.
She has experience in a broad range of serious criminal offences, including offences against the person, drugs offences, firearms offences and sexual offences. She has also represented defendants in terrorism related matters.
Georgina has also assisted members of chambers in relation to high-profile cases including murder and rape.
Corporate & Financial Crime
Georgina has experience prosecuting and defending individuals charged with fraud, both as sole counsel and in a team. Georgina has also assisted members of chambers in relation to politically sensitive cases involving corruption, misconduct in public office, bribery and proceeds of crime matters.
Before joining Chambers, Georgina previously worked at Mishcon de Reya in the White Collar Crime and Investigations team. She assisted on a range of sensitive and high-profile investigations involving the Serious Fraud Office, National Crime Agency and the police. She gained experience in a wide range of domestic and international white-collar matters, including corruption, fraud, bribery and money laundering. She also assisted on cases defending Account Freezing Orders and Unexplained Wealth Orders, as well as clients who are subject to extradition requests.
Regulatory and Disciplinary
Georgina regularly presents as approved counsel on behalf of the Nursing and Midwifery Council in substantive hearings, interim order applications and review hearings.
Georgina has also assisted on internal investigations involving serious and sensitive allegations. Most recently, she has been instructed on an internal investigation regarding a serious allegation made in a large medical organisation.
Private Prosecutions
Georgina has recently been instructed to assist on a private prosecution, having undertaken a private prosecution seat during her pupillage. Also, before joining chambers, Georgina gained experience advising individuals and corporates facing private prosecutions.
Public Law
Georgina comes to Chambers after working as a lawyer in the UK division of the European Court of Human Rights, where she assisted on cases involving alleged violations of the European Convention on Human Rights in the context of domestic criminal justice. She dealt with admissibility decisions and legal research in a number of high-profile and politically sensitive cases, and assisted with emergency interim measures applications in cases involving matters such as imminent extradition or deportation.
Georgina hopes to build her public law practice, and since joining Chambers, Georgina has supported others in work associated with inquests, inquiries and judicial review.
