She is ranked in the Hall of Fame by Legal 500 and was recently honoured as “Dispute Resolution Lawyer of the Year” by Legal 500 at the Northern Powerhouse Awards 2024.
With over 35 years’ experience of handling all types of high-profile, high-value and complex litigation, including arbitration and judicial review, Geraldine specialises in commercial dispute resolution and also has a particular specialism in reputation risk, defamation and contractual termination advice.
Always keen to see the commercial angles and alive to costs risks and reduction, she has been praised by clients for her “highly responsive and valuable advice”.
