Laurence Cooper

I would just like to give my deepest thanks to Laurence Cooper for his fantastic work on my case. Laurence truly was my voice that day, and I am so grateful. He was incredibly supportive and kind. I was feeling particularly vulnerable and unsure of the outcome; he was very patient with me, listening to all of my concerns and really helped me get through. – Lay Client

I would personally like to thank the barrister Laurence Cooper today. He made us feel so at ease and explained everything so clearly to make sure we understood any kind of outcomes that could have occurred…the Judge also praised his efficiency as well. – Lay Client

Before transferring to the Bar, Laurence was a seasoned commercial dealmaker, heading up procurement teams for several companies. His breadth of life experience underpins his work. He has performed over 10,000 hours of negotiation, his style informed by, among others, The Black Swan Group and The Gap Partnership.

He is passionate about advocating for people who are facing extreme and challenging life issues. He has chaired a charity, and worked directly with countless homeless and vulnerable people.

His calm manner, his sensitive and compassionate approach, and his incisive and compelling advocacy have won praise for him and, most importantly, results in Court for Laurence’s clients.

Laurence regularly represents clients in Family and Civil matters, and accepts instructions across the full spectrum of Chambers’ work, including:

• Financial remedies

• Care and placement proceedings
• Special Guardianship applications
• Tolata 1996 disputes

Laurence works with the charity Bridging the Bar to mentor people from non-traditional backgrounds who are interested in a career in advocacy.

I'm writing to you to thank you very much for your amazing job and support and also for such talented barristers, especially Laurence Cooper. – Lay Client

I cannot tell you how happy I am with that result, and I have received a message from the client stating the same. – Solicitor

I observed Mr Cooper [in a fact-finding hearing] I thought he did an excellent job. - Judge

He obtained incredible results for our client, who was extremely pleased and wishes to instruct him again on future matters. I highly recommend him. He picked up our case with little time to prepare due to unforeseen circumstances…[and]… worked effectively and strategically to deliver an amazing outcome for our client. – Solicitor

I can honestly say that having Laurence Cooper for my 3-day hearing was key for me… I would highly recommend Mr Cooper if you needed an effective barrister in Court.. – Lay Client

Laurence was patient and did brilliantly conveying my case in the three days. His advice, clarification and patience throughout was much appreciated – Lay Client
