Gemma is an Associate at Teal Compliance with a background in behavioural change, culture, and people led compliance. Gemma works with firms to turn policies into real working practices that engage staff and reduce risk. Gemma started her career as a Family Law Solicitor, where Gemma was recognised both city-wide and nationally for her work in the child protection arena. As a lawyer, Gemma was fascinated by the psychology of people. Following a successful career in practice, Gemma turned her attention to workplace culture and leadership, becoming Director of Culture and Learning at a large law firm. Following a management buy-out, Gemma then spent two years helping acquired law firms assess and embed new values, behaviours and culture.

Gemma spent 15 years working in legal practice and so it is a profession she understands and deeply cares about. She is committed to helping organisations create healthy and inspiring working environments, which in turn leads to enhanced wellbeing, more collaboration and higher performing teams. Often, as we move through the ranks of our industry, we are rarely told to fully consider culture and the fundamental impact it has on the working lives of our people. Gemma wants to help change that.
