Her approach is grounded in empathy, clarity, and pragmatism, helping clients remain focused on what matters most—the well-being of their family. Laura is a dedicated Solicitor experienced in advising clients on a broad range of family law matters, including divorce, separation, child arrangements, and financial settlements.
Laura’s primary focus is on child arrangements and ensuring that children’s needs are central to any outcome. Her clients value her ability to balance sensitivity with a results-driven approach, delivering advice that is both compassionate and effective.
Laura’s compassionate nature and client-focused mindset ensure that those she works with feel supported and reassured throughout the legal process. She takes the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances, offering tailored advice and practical solutions that promote resolution while minimising conflict.
While Laura recognises that court proceedings are sometimes unavoidable, she is committed to exploring amicable and constructive outcomes wherever possible, working collaboratively with other professionals to achieve the best results for families. As a member of Resolution, she upholds its principles, particularly the importance of a child-focused and constructive approach.
In addition to her family law practice, Laura has a background in Property law, which enhances her ability to identify and address related legal issues that may arise during separation or divorce. This breadth of experience allows her to provide comprehensive guidance, especially in relation to asset protection, separation agreements, and complex financial matters.
Outside of work, Laura enjoys surfing, spending time with her family, and exploring the countryside around Bath—often with a love of cold-water dips thrown in.
