Laura Christodoulou

She also supports clients to manage their compensation awards and interim payments where litigation is ongoing. Laura helps to ensure these funds are utilised in the client’s best interests, to maximise their quality of life, to meet their ongoing needs and to effectively budget for their future. To achieve this, she engages with the client, their families and, where appropriate, their case managers and wider multidisciplinary teams. She has considerable experience in drafting deputyship applications for both professionals and lay deputyships, as well as applications for the approval of property purchases, adaptations and sales.

Laura joined Penningtons Manches Cooper in 2024 having spent several years specialising in Court of Protection matters at established law firms in both London and Oxford. She obtained an LLB in Law with European Law at the University of Nottingham, with an additional year spent studying at the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain. She then completed her Legal Practice Course at the University of Law (Bloomsbury), London. She is a member of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers and the Professional Deputies Forum and recently attained the STEP Advanced Certificate in Advising Vulnerable Clients.
