My role

I am a newly-qualified solicitor in the childcare team. I act for parents and other relatives in public law proceedings as well as private law proceedings dealing with child arrangements orders. These proceedings often involve issues of physical or emotional abuse and neglect.

My experience

I completed my training contract with Anthony Collins Solicitors in September 2018 and qualified as a solicitor, having previously experienced seats in the childcare team, the construction litigation team and the housing funding team.

"He's calm, well prepared, thoughtful and very reassuring for clients." "Alex Laud has an unflappable temperament which is ideal for dealing with the kind of high-pressure situations which often characterise care proceedings." - Chambers and Partners, 2022
