Anna-Laura Lock

Partner @Rayden Solicitors

London, GB

My practice includes divorce and complex financial matters involving trusts, companies, especially family businesses, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial or civil partnership agreements and cohabitation. I advise regularly in relation to issues involving children with an awareness of the importance of finding a child-focused solution whilst at the same time supporting clients through a sensitive and painful time. A large proportion of my work is cases involving an international element with countries ranging from America, Europe, India and the Middle East.I have been recognised by Legal 500 as a recommended lawyer since 2020 and have been named as a Rising Star by Legal 500 for both 2021 and 2022.I have co-authored a chapter on costs for a family law handbook and, separately, a guide given to separating parents by legal professionals. I also write regularly on all topics for publications disseminated to family law practitioners including the Gazette, The Review, The Barrister and the Family Law Journal and comment on family law developments in the national press.I am a member of Resolution and of Resolution’s Parenting after Parting Committee which is tasked with encouraging and training family law practitioners to help parents work together to agree arrangements for their children following separation.
