Standing by You Throughout Your Legal Journey
We are a Suffolk and Norfolk based boutique legal consultancy and signposting service, specialising in a range of services, providing support and guidance and signposting services.
As a legal consultancy, we do not advise on reserved areas of law: for example, Immigration, Residential and Commercial Property and Grant of Probate. However, after years of working in the legal sector, we have a network of trusted contacts and ex-colleagues in every area of legal practice. If your needs fall outside our service offering, then we will be happy to introduce you to someone within that network. We will also signpost you to the appropriate organisation depending on your particular requirement.
As an unregulated practice, we are not nor are we required to be regulated by the Law Society or the SRA. We are not solicitors, a firm of solicitors, nor do we purport to be a firm of solicitors.
We provide a local alternative to the traditional law firm model because our consultants are not acting as solicitors when providing services through Laurselle Legal. Law firms are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and when we provide services to our clients we are not regulated or authorised by the SRA.
Locations we serve
Laurselle Legal provide a wide range of services across Norfolk in Suffolk, with two offices based located in Ipswich and Diss

Meet The Team
With over 16 years in the legal Industry I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge.
During my work as a law practitioner, I realised how overwhelming and stressful the legal process is for the clients. As a legal practitioner working in a stressful law firm environment, I could not provide the much needed time and support to my clients, especially time to explain the legal process and help them to cope with the stress.
I realised that just legal advice is not enough, my clients required emotional support as well as practical advice from a trusted advisor on the legal process, who acts as an objective sounding board and provides non-judgemental friendly ear.
Therefore, I decided to take the role of a Legal Consultant instead of acting as a practicing lawyer. My aim is to combine my legal experience with my compassionate nature and provide a holistic support and guidance to my clients to make them feel empowered.
As Cal Newport states:
-“Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.”
I joined Laurselle Legal in March 2022 as a volunteer to gain practical experience while completing my Law degree at Suffolk University, where I graduated with a high 2:1. After completing my studies, I was thrilled to be offered a full-time permanent position at Laurselle Legal.
In my role, I enjoy assisting clients with a range of legal matters. I provide clear guidance and support, ensuring their concerns are addressed effectively. For matters requiring regulated legal services, I can confidently refer clients to our trusted network of regulated solicitors.
With a compassionate approach and strong listening skills, I aim to offer both emotional support and practical advice, helping clients navigate their legal matters with confidence and ease.
I am also available to assist clients through Court hearings as a McKenzie Friend, offering moral support, helping with Court applications, and taking notes during proceedings.
Outside of work, I cherish spending time with family and friends and enjoy immersing myself in a good book.
Will & Estate Planning | Consultant
I suppose you could call me a seasoned professional as my career spans over 40 years, most of which I have spent in legal and financial services roles. My experience has encompassed many overlapping competencies and I have come to realise that I enjoy using the knowledge I have gained to enable clients to make decisions about managing their affairs and also to support them on the journey. I have always believed that an holistic approach is best and have been taught, right from the very start of my career some very important lessons. “Never pin a Will”, “it’s not worth a light without the date on it” and “the devil is in the detail” are just some of the phrases that I have carried with me over the years and made me strive to do the best I can.
I have been professionally trained as a Will and Estate Planning Consultant, which strangely enough is an area where I started my career. I have been affiliated to the Society of Will Writers and the Society of Later Life Advisers and as such I believe that everyone should have a professionally drafted Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney too.
Estate planning is very important after all it is what you have worked for all your life.
