Prior to commencing pupillage at Cornwall Street Chambers, Georgina worked as a private client caseworker with a Crown Court caseload, where she regularly assisted counsel in court and was closely involved in trial preparation. She is comfortable in court environments and experienced in working directly with clients, including vulnerable individuals, taking instructions, analysing evidence, drafting legal documents, and liaising with opposing parties and professional stakeholders throughout proceedings. She previously worked as a paralegal in commercial property, gaining experience in client care, drafting, and professional practice.

Georgina completed the Bar Practice Course and a Master of Laws (LLM) in Legal Practice at BPP University, achieving distinctions. She was awarded a number of academic scholarships, including the prestigious Inner Temple Major Scholarship. Her master’s dissertation, which explored anonymity in criminal proceedings involving sexual offences, received a high distinction. Prior to this, Georgina graduated from Oxford Brookes University with an LLB and was awarded the 2019 Eric Kemp Prize by the Ecclesiastical Law Society.

Alongside her studies, Georgina undertook voluntary advocacy work, representing members in grievance and disciplinary proceedings for the Cleaners and Allied Independent Workers Union, and providing supervised advice in private law family matters at the BLAC Family Law pro bono clinic.
