Gemma Thew

Specialisms

I am accredited by the Law Society for Family Law and have a broad range of experience in all family matters including divorce, financial matters arising upon divorce and separation, issues around child arrangements as well as cohabitation and pre/post nuptial agreements.

Approach

I offer a calm and considered approach taking the time to get to know my clients and working with them to achieve the best possible outcome. I look strategically at each clients case and offer bespoke advice on the law, drawing on my years of experience to find the most cost effective solution.  I pride myself on making sure my clients are fully aware of their options and understand the process at each stage. I am a member of Resolution and I am committed to resolving matters using alternative forms of resolution whenever possible.

Training & Employment

I trained at a boutique London firm and qualified in 2010. I moved to Sussex in 2012 and have spent the last 9 years building my reputation in Brighton and the surrounding areas. I joined Stowe in October 2021 to launch the opening of their first Sussex office in Brighton.

Outside of Work

I love spending time with my family and we enjoy nothing more than walking through the Sussex countryside with our wonderfully weird whippet, Pluto.
