Senior Dispute Resolution Solicitor Joins Johnson Astills

Johnson Astills are delighted to announce that senior Dispute Resolution solicitor Laura Anderson has joined the firm.

Laura's appointment means that our clients can now access advice across an even broader range of legal matters. Laura says:

“I’m looking forward to bringing an additional strand of expertise to supplement Johnson Astills’ existing offering, to help clients resolve contentious matters constructively.”

Prior to qualifying as a solicitor in 2008, Laura worked as a paralegal, and her practice has always been in Dispute Resolution. Laura prides herself on understanding her clients’ objectives, so that she can deliver pragmatic advice that reflects the strengths and weaknesses of their situations, and the economic reality of the situation.

Until 2013, Laura combined working in practice with a role as a part-time lecturer in Law at Leicester De Montfort Law School. That experience means that she is particularly adept at explaining complex legal issues to clients in a straightforward manner that they can easily understand.

Laura has a broad practice and is used to advising individuals and businesses in relation to matters including:

• disputes over property upon the breakdown of a relationship
• claims for reasonable financial provision from a deceased’s estate
• recovery of possession of residential property
• breach of contract
• disputes over rights of way and other property interests

Whilst court action may be necessary, Laura will always keep under review whether an alternative form of dispute resolution, such as mediation, is suitable, to ensure that matters are concluded as swiftly and cost-effectively as possible.

If you have a contentious issue and would like advice upon your rights and options, email Laura: lka@johnsonastills.com or call her at one of our offices (Loughborough 01509 610312 or Leicester 0116 255 4855)
