Georgia has a global practice, and she frequently works with clients and other lawyers in the United States and throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. She spent five years living and working in Southeast Asia. Dually qualified to practice in England & Wales and New York, clients entrust Georgia and her team on a wide range of matters, including financings, mergers and acquisitions, and other complex transactions.

Praised by The Legal 500 UK in 2017 and 2018 for her ability to “speak to what is market in deal terms,” the "excellent" Georgia Quenby handles a significant amount of work for Fortune 50 financial institutions on their European and cross-border transactions. In 2016 The Legal 500 UK said she is “a real expert in the field who is always abreast of market conditions and regulatory developments” and in 2015 also noted that Georgia is “praised for her ability to maintain a balance between legal opinion and commercial understanding.”

As a key component of her work as a leading finance practitioner in the UK, Georgia sits on both the steering and executive committees, and serves as chair of the working group considering the creation, attachment, and perfection of security interests in the UK's Secured Transactions Law Reform Project which examines reform of the English law of security to reflect modern global commerce and finance.
