Hughes Fowler Carruthers—Lauren Deane

Family law firm appoints new partner

Hughes Fowler Carruthers has announced the appointment of Lauren Deane to the partnership.

Lauren provides specialist legal advice on all aspects of family law, including divorce, financial arrangements on relationship breakdown, private law children matters, and pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and cohabitation agreements.

Lauren deals with complex and high-net-worth financial matters, the majority of which have an international angle. She has considerable experience in matters involving trust structures, family businesses and complex tax issues. Lauren’s practice also includes private law children disputes, including international relocation and living arrangements.

Lauren has a particular interest in EU law. She is a member of Resolution’s International Committee and was a key contributor to the work of Resolution’s Brexit Working Party.

Commenting on her appointment, Lauren said: ‘I am excited to begin the next chapter of my career as a partner at Hughes Fowler Carruthers. The depth of knowledge across the firm is unparalleled, and I am always surrounded by a strong team. I look forward to continuing to develop my practice alongside some of the best practitioners in the industry.’

Partner Caroline Park said: ‘Lauren is an excellent addition to the partnership. She is an outstanding family lawyer who will fight hard for her clients—the perfect combination of technical knowledge and compassion. Clients sincerely value her dedication, as does the team here at HFC.’

Lauren joined Hughes Fowler Carruthers in 2015, after qualifying as a solicitor in 2013. She was promoted to counsel in October 2022.
