Laura Clapton

Spear’s Review

Laura Clapton co-founded Consilia Legal in 2014; the firm now provides family law, mediation and litigation services to high-net-worth families in London, Leeds and Harrogate.

Clapton’s practice encompasses all aspects of private family law, including divorce, pre- and postnuptial agreements and children matters, with a large amount of referrals coming from contacts in London’s commercial law firms. Formerly chair of Resolution for North and West Yorkshire, she currently sits on the organisation’s national committee.

She tells Spear’s: ‘I can be a very calming influence in a mediation session. Lawyers may have otherwise fallen into the trap of becoming quite positional and it becoming acrimonious, but by all working together we can get them through it pretty scar-free.’
