Manchester

Georgina is a Solicitor in our Medical Negligence team at Simpson Millar, based in our Manchester office.

Professional Biography

Georgina obtained her undergraduate degree in Law from the University of Chester before going on to complete her professional legal training at the University of Law. She achieved a Master of Laws (LLM) in Professional Legal Practice, graduating in August 2019. This postgraduate qualification focused on the practical application of law and provided Georgina with a strong foundation in areas such as client care, legal drafting, advocacy, and litigation.

During her time studying law, Georgina also broadened her legal knowledge through a voluntary role as a Legal Ambassador for Law Help Online. In this role, she created legal presentations and acted as a consultant for less experienced law students, helping them better understand legal concepts and processes.

Following her studies, Georgina completed an 18-month training contract and qualified as a Solicitor in March 2020.

Georgina has over 9 years’ experience working on medical negligence cases and has developed a particular interest in brain injuries, oncology, and obstetric cases. She works on a wide range of medical negligence claims, supporting people who have experienced substandard medical care to seek compensation, accountability, and appropriate support. She has experience managing cases from start to finish, reviewing medical records, liaising with medical experts, gathering evidence, and litigating claims in order to negotiate the best possible settlement for her clients. Alongside medical negligence work, Georgina has also gained experience in Personal Injury, Court of Protection, and Wills and Probate, which gives her a broader understanding of how serious injury or negligence can affect many areas of a person’s life.

She joined Simpson Millar in May 2023, bringing with her several years of experience working on medical negligence matters. In her day-to-day role at Simpson Millar, Georgina supports clients throughout the medical negligence claims process, providing clear and practical advice at each stage. She works closely with clients, medical experts, and colleagues to ensure cases are progressed carefully and efficiently, always focusing on achieving outcomes that reflect the impact medical negligence has had on her clients’ lives.

    Stacey

    Client

  • "First Class! I cannot recommend my solicitor, Georgina Emsley, highly enough. She has supported me through a very lengthy and complex case with unwavering professionalism, kindness and patience throughout. Communication was excellent - emails were always answered promptly, and she was consistently available at the end of the phone when I needed reassurance or clarity. What truly set her apart was her ability to combine absolute professionalism with genuine warmth and humanity. She made me feel not just like a client, but like someone whose best interests truly mattered, almost as though I had a trusted friend in my corner. Her calm, knowledgeable approach gave me confidence at every stage of the process. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who is both highly competent and genuinely caring."

    Lyn

    Client

  • "Exceptional professional conduct, care and support. From Gillian Sue Anstruther. Thank you for all the care, support and professional conduct throughout my claim. Georgina (née Emsley), now Reid, has been exceptional all the way through it. She’s truly an asset to the company, and I have already recommended her to a friend. Thank you again, Georgina, for everything. I wish you every happiness and prosperity in everything you do in the future. Thank you just isn’t enough for all you’ve done."

    Richard

    Client

  • "Very pleased with the actions taken by Simpson Millar. I had very little to do. I gave them a timeline which I had already developed, but other than that, nothing to do. Mrs Reid (née Emsley), congratulations, has always been very pleasant and helpful, keeping in touch and ensuring I was up to date with all the actions."

    Mr. Len

    Client

  • "Very efficient service from medical negligence solicitor. I don’t very often write reviews, but I have been left feeling that impressed I feel I must. The circumstances around why I instructed Simpson Millar are very difficult and involve losing a loved one. At the start of my claim, I had several solicitors take over the case as handlers, which was frustrating, but around two years ago Georgina Reid took over the case. I was instantly left with the feeling of confidence after our first communication, and since then this feeling has only increased. Not only is Georgina a fantastic, talented solicitor, but she has shown great care and compassion to me throughout this process, when very often the art of law is about facts with little room for “feelings”. Georgina has communicated with me regularly and has efficiently explained the complex legalities of all the information I needed to know, also in a way one would understand with no legal background. I will forever be grateful to Georgina and will recommend her to anyone who requires her professional services. She certainly eased the anxieties around my claim and delivered a positive conclusion swiftly. I highly recommend Simpson Millar, but without any hesitation I would be recommending Georgina Reid for medical negligence cases."

  • "Georgina and her team have been absolutely great, explaining every step of the way and making sure I got what was owed. Couldn’t recommend enough."

    Richard

    Client

  • "I had a medical negligence claim, and it took ages to find a solicitor that I felt would be able to deal with my claim. Simpson Millar were amazing and fought for almost two years against the NHS. I was always kept updated with everything going on, and if I didn’t understand, Georgina (the solicitor on my case) would explain everything to me so I understood. I honestly can’t thank her enough, and hopefully I never need to go through another claim like I did, but if I did, then I would definitely use them again."

    Stacey

    Client

  • "Case completed. I’m pleased to say that my case has been successfully completed, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Georgina Emsley guided me through every step of the process with professionalism and clarity, ensuring I understood each stage. Her attention to detail and persistence were key in reaching a successful resolution. From the start, Georgina was proactive, always keeping me updated, and her determination to move the case forward was clear. Now that the case is complete, I’m grateful for her hard work and expertise. If you’re looking for someone who will see your case through to a positive conclusion, I highly recommend Georgina."
