Profile
Alison is a Caseworker based in the family team in our Margate office. After working in a Legal 500 recognised local firm where she progressed from legal secretary to paralegal. Alison joined GT Stewart in 2022 and is training to become qualified Legal Executive and is currently undertaking the Level 3 Diploma in Law and Practice with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.
With a focus on care proceedings, Alison has supported in cases involving Non-Accidental Injuries and Fabricated or Induced Illnesses (FII). Alison regularly attends court in London and barrister chambers to support clients at hearings and conferences. Alison is experienced in meticulously pulling together the evidence filed within proceedings and liaising with clients to assist in the drafting of detailed statements in response. She prides herself on being friendly and approachable, supporting clients throughout a process that can be both worrying and, often, difficult to understand.
Alison has most recently been heavily assisting on a complex High Court non-accidental injury case, in which for the first time in the UK it was granted for a client’s evidence in cross-examination to be shown by way of pre-recorded video.
- “Absolute angels – GT Stewart from start to finish have been kind, caring, personable and quite honestly angels. The team Max, Kristin and Alison are incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and professional but also empathetic and genuinely care about you as a person. They hire the most incredible barristers. I had two during my case and both incredible. I can’t recommend them enough. Going through the hardest 14 months of my life – these people truly deserve the highest level of appreciation. My advice: do not hesitate to reach out to GT Stewart. Thank you doesn’t even scrape the surface.”

“With a client who was far from straightforward to manage, and with very high stakes given the reason for [the applications made] and the nature of the allegations, you have both shown exceptional commitment to [the client], and ensuring that they could engage with the process on a fair basis…It really has been a pleasure, and I hope we might be able to get the band back together again in the future.”
