Laura Rosefield

Spear’s Review

‘One of my clients describes it as “litigation in a hug”,’ says Laura Rosefield, founder of and senior partner at Rosefield Divorce Consultancy. A former criminal barrister, Rosefield and her team aim to guide divorcing clients through the legal process, providing practical, actionable advice. 

A key aspect of her role is bridging the gap between a client and their lawyer, advising on matters such as alternative dispute models, preparations for court and for discussions with solicitors, and financial remedy and Children Act proceedings. ‘There is a warmth and compassion to it, and an empathy, but I don’t say that in a woolly sense,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘It’s got to be combined with real, high-level strategy.’ 

‘One of my big passions is bringing together the law and psychology, because I firmly believe from experience that you can’t practice family law without bringing the two together. It really informs the strategy of the case,’ Rosefield says.
