Introduction

Introduction

Lara is a sought after civil practitioner with a wealth of experience in dealing with property and shipping related disputes, in particular. For over a decade prior to being called to the Bar in 2015, Lara was in practice as a solicitor.

Lara has a rich and varied legal background. In 2003 she qualified in South Africa as an attorney, conveyancer and notary public. She emigrated to England and in 2004 qualified as an English solicitor. She also qualified as a notary public of England & Wales in 2008. Lara commenced practice in England working with a large regional firm, specialising in property law.  She then extended her practice into the niche area of shipping, working in the City for almost a decade.

Lara obtained higher rights of audience in April 2015 and was called to the Bar six months later.

As a property specialist with broad experience and expertise largely in Landlord & Tenant and Real Property, Lara offers expedient advice and robust advocacy before the courts and tribunals.

Within her maritime and commodities practice, Lara adopts a commercial approach when dealing with disputes, with her clients’ best interests always at the forefront of her mind.

Lara is very experienced in dealing with injunctive relief applications before the High Court and County Courts.

She accepts instructions from solicitors but is also fully accredited by the Bar Standards Board to accept instructions direct from individuals and businesses including shipowners, charterers, insurers and traders.
