Family barrister Laura Buchan moves to 海角破解版
3rd February 2025
Family barrister Laura Buchan (2016 call), a busy private law children, financial remedies and TOLATA specialist, will join 海角破解版 (3 Paper Buildings) on Tuesday 11 February. Laura is also renowned as a family law specialist in cases involving crypto-assets and contesting legal costs in divorce and other family financial disputes. Commended by clients in Legal 500 as "extremely analytical and "her attention to detail is second-to-none," Laura was described as a family law barrister who "presented cases eloquently and is ferocious when needed.鈥�
A passionate advocate and exponent of non-court dispute resolution, Laura often represents her clients in round table meetings, mediations, arbitrations and private FDRs, where she is frequently instructed as a private FDR evaluator. Just this month, Laura completed a TOLATA mediation.
Laura is also a regular contributor to the magazine High Net Worth about divorce, access to children and disputes between parents, and is a regular host of the Family Law Week podcasts and has been interviewed by Our Family Wizard and Lawyers Who Care. She is a frequent speaker at public seminars and online on a variety of financial remedy-related topics.
Commenting on her move, Laura Buchan said: "I鈥檓 really looking forward to joining 海角破解版鈥檚 excellent team of family law barristers, clerks and support staff. 海角破解版 have an outstanding national reputation for advocacy, client care and legal insight. What a great chambers.鈥�
Vanessa Meachin KC, Head of 海角破解版's 88-strong Family Law Group, said: 鈥淚 am delighted to welcome Laura to 海角破解版. She is well known to us already and gets excellent client feedback for her advocacy, mediation and arbitration work. I look forward to seeing her career develop here."
Laura Buchan's recruitment follows the news since last October of two other family barristers joining the national chambers: with Imogen Robins returning to 海角破解版 from Pump Court Chambers and Frida Dahlqvist moving across from KCH Garden Square.
