Laura is an Associate in the Private Client team at our Bristol office. With experience in both private client litigation and non-contentious estate administration, Laura has experience in dealing with estate administration where there is conflict between executors and/or beneficiaries, and also the appointment of independent administrators.
Laura works alongside our nationally acclaimed Charities team and our Estates, Tax and Trusts team, to advise national charities, higher education institutions and Universities in respect of protecting legacies due to them. We also continue to defend a number of contested legacies for national charities and other non-profit organisations.
Laura takes a calm and practical approach which helps to relieve tension in disputed matters, while also driving them forward to resolution. This is particularly helpful in carrying out estate administration where there is animosity between beneficiaries and/or executors.
Laura joined VWV in 2016 as a paralegal before completing her training contract with the firm and qualifying into the team in May 2022.
