Mountford Chambers is delighted to announce that Fatima Jama and Georgia-Mae Chung have accepted tenancy offers following the successful completion of their pupillages.
Fatima is developing a busy defence across all areas of Chambers’ work and is increasingly instructed to defend allegations of serious drug and firearms offences in the youth court, which often raise issues of gang affiliation, county lines, and modern slavery.
She regularly publishes articles with a particular focus on general crime, white-collar crime and financial regulation. These have appeared on Lexology, The Expert Witness Journal and Financial Regulation International.
Fatima maintains a busy pro bono practice alongside her professional commitments.
Georgia-Mae regularly appears in both the Crown Court and Magistrates’ Court, specialising in criminal defence in areas of sexual offences, violence, drugs, and fraud. She has particular experience in defending vulnerable individuals and youth clients.
During her pupillage, Georgia-Mae organised and chaired Aggrieved – Exploring the Relationship Between Grief and Working in the Legal World, an event held at Middle Temple in which it explored the legal professionals’ and student’s experience of grief and how it impacts on their work.
Georgia-Mae is a Trustee at the Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality (ISCRE).
We congratulate Fatima and Georgia-Mae and wish them continued success in their careers.
