Position
Laura is a highly regarded practitioner, specialising in private law and public law children work.
Laura appears in the most serious public law cases. She is accomplished at handling extremely sensitive cases, including those where inflicted injury, factitious induced illness and sexual abuse are in issue.
She has experience in other jurisdictions, having practiced in the Caribbean and advised in cases in Jersey and the EU. She frequently appears in cases where children have been abducted, are to be placed overseas in public proceedings or where there is an application for permission to remove a child from the jurisdiction.
In adoption cases, Laura has acted in cases where there is a risk of placement breakdown and in non-Convention international adoptions.
In her private law practice, Laura’s work includes especially complex and high conflict cases, in all levels of court. Her experience both the public and private spheres of children law allows her to offer highly effective and pragmatic advice to private clients who are experiencing local authority intervention for the first time.
