Laura McLaughlin trained and practised with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service for over 10 years, appearing in Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Courts across Scotland. Her work within specialised units — including Health and Safety prosecutions, High Court sexual offences, international co-operation and extradition, and deaths investigations — provided her with exceptional insight into complex and sensitive matters.

She is committed to helping clients find constructive, dignified outcomes wherever possible, ensuring that litigation is considered only as a last resort. Her focus is on guiding clients through separation and conflict with discretion, clarity, and balance.
