About

Provided by Lara Kuehl

UK Bar

Practice Areas

Lara has a commercial Chancery practice with a particular emphasis on high value disputes in England & Wales and offshore. Her work encompasses all aspects of commercial litigation and arbitration, property litigation, civil fraud, company law and insolvency matters.

Consistently ranked as a leading junior barrister in the legal directories, Lara is recommended in five practice areas (Commercial Litigation; Chancery:Commercial; Restructuring/Insolvency, Company and Real Estate/Property Litigation) across the current editions of Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.

Lara is highly regarded for her advocacy and in the majority of her cases, she acts as lead or sole advocate. She frequently appears (unled) against senior juniors or KCs. However, she is equally comfortable acting as junior counsel led by more senior barristers from within or outside chambers, as she is currently doing across a range of cases in England and internationally.

In addition to her private work, Lara also undertakes work on behalf of the UK Government. She is on the Attorney General’s B Panel of Junior Counsel to the Crown and represents the Government in commercial, property, company and insolvency matters.

Before transferring to the English Bar, Lara was a solicitor in the London commercial disputes team of two US firms: Weil, Gotshal & Manges and McDermott Will & Emery UK LLP. Between 2013 and 2015, Lara practised as a Cayman Islands attorney in the Dispute Resolution and Insolvency group at Maples and Calder.
