Practice Areas

Laura is a Partner and Practice Group Leader in the Family Law team. She advises clients on the full range of issues that arise on separation, from disputes relating to children (such as how their time is to be shared between their parents, and where they are to live) to the division of HNW and UHNW finances on divorce, which almost always involve complicating factors such as businesses, partnerships, farming estates, trusts and/or foreign jurisdictions. Laura strives to support her clients and help them achieve the best possible outcome for their circumstances, with the least amount of stress.

She also has particular experience of high conflict divorces, supporting both male and female clients who are victims of domestic abuse and narcissistic behaviour, and also those accused of the same.

Industry Sector Expertise

Nuptial agreements – Laura regularly drafts and advises on pre and post nuptial agreements to protect wealth being brought into a marriage whilst ensuring the relationship is not compromised and the agreement is fair to both parties.

Complex financial separations – Laura acts for a wide range of HNW and UHNW clients located in the UK and internationally, including business owners, fund managers, settlors and heirs to dynastic wealth (involving trusts and FICs) and the spouses of such individuals.

High conflict divorce, domestic abuse and narcissism (NPD) – Laura has particular experience of high conflict divorces, supporting clients and their children, who are victims of domestic abuse and narcissistic behaviour; Laura also has extensive experience of defending clients wrongly accused of abusive behaviour.

SEND and neurodivergence – Laura has a particular interest in cases involving neurodivergent adults and children with complex needs.

Complex parental disputes – Laura frequently acts for parents on intractable issues such as where a parent wishes to move a child overseas, or where a child no longer wants to spend time with a parent and there may be allegations of parental alienation.
