About

BetterDivorce was founded by Gemma Reading, a qualified family solicitor with 15 years’ experience in the private practice legal sector and more than 3 years working in legal technology.

After training and qualifying at a leading national law firm, Gemma advised clients across a broad range of family law matters before moving into legal tech as Head of UK, where she led implementation across a portfolio of more than 100 law firms, helping them find more efficient ways to deliver legal services.


Her experience in family law private practice, followed by more than 3 years in legal technology, gave Gemma a unique perspective on how legal services could be delivered. While every divorce is different, many people encounter the same practical challenges day in, day out. Technology can help with some of the practical and repeatable parts of the process, making them easier for clients to manage while allowing professional expertise and bespoke legal advice to be focused where they add the most value

 

Over the course of her career, Gemma has built a trusted network of professionals who can provide specialist support when needed. BetterDivorce draws on that network to help clients access the right expertise at the right time.

GUY READING
Co-Founder | Data Science & Technology

Guy has a background in data science, manufacturing and physics, with experience in advanced machine learning, research and large-scale technology projects. Working alongside Gemma, he takes the practical problems she has seen clients encounter day in and day out throughout her career in family law and works out how technology can help solve them.

 

His focus is to simplify repeatable tasks, reduce unnecessary administration and give clients practical tools to manage more of the process themselves. This forms the foundation of the BetterDivorce Client Hub, where clients can gather and organise information, understand where they are in the process, access 24/7 support with practical questions and identify when specialist support may be needed.
