Spear’s Review 

Penningtons Manches Cooper partner Laura Naser is experienced in domestic and international family law, including high-net-worth financial settlements and children’s disputes, and has acted on cases requiring cross-jurisdictional expertise as well as an ability to swiftly make appeals in emergency situations.

‘I’ve been open about going through my own very difficult divorce,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘If you know what it’s like to go through it, you’re a better lawyer.’ Indeed, Naser’s book detailing her own professional and personal experience of divorce, The Family Lawyer’s Guide to Separation & Divorce – How to Get What You Both Want, is highly regarded. 

Naser is passionate about making the intricacies of the legal system more accessible, and uses her platform to build a connection with clients. Most of her clients come from Instagram or recommendations, she says: ‘It’s about being “premium but approachable” and developing a connection where clients feel like they know me, they can trust me [and] that we’re alike.’
