Laura Leonard is a Legal Assistant in the firm’s Private Family Law team, supporting solicitors on matters including domestic abuse, private children disputes, divorce and financial arrangements. She plays a key role in case preparation and administration, drafting correspondence and legal documents, liaising with clients, courts and third parties, and managing files, deadlines and court bundles to ensure matters progress smoothly.
Laura is often a first point of contact for clients, providing updates, maintaining accurate records and helping to ensure they feel informed and supported throughout their case. She is particularly committed to assisting clients through what can be highly sensitive and challenging times, aiming to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.
Before joining Pepperells in early 2024, Laura gained experience across a range of sectors including hairdressing, customer service, administration, marketing and music event management, and also successfully ran her own cake business for several years. This varied background underpins her strong client-care skills, organisation and ability to work effectively in a fast-paced legal environment.
Alongside her role, Laura is studying part-time with The Open University towards a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree, which she finds both fascinating and directly beneficial to her work. Her developing legal knowledge, combined with her practical experience in the Private Family Law team, supports her ambition to continue building a career within the legal profession.
