Gesualda is very sympathetic to clients in this highly emotional area and has a reputation for trying to solve a client’s problem quickly, while at the same time ensuring that the best possible result is achieved.

Gesualda joined KCL Law in 2005 and was appointed a Principal Lawyer in January 2018.
