Watsons Solicitors—Lauren Soutar

Cheshire law firm recruits family law solicitor
Lauren Soutar joins Watsons Solicitors from a fellow Cheshire-based firm.
 
A graduate of the University of Liverpool, Lauren went on take the legal practice course in Chester before qualifying as a solicitor in 2017.
 
Of her recent appointment, she said: 'It’s an exciting time to join Watsons. It’s been such a smooth transition. I work on many of the same areas I did previously, but there is much more going on, including advising new clients and attending multiple hearings in a day, so it’s consistently fast paced. I hope to be on the Law Society’s children’s panel in the near future, but most importantly I want to continue to build my professional reputation in the region.'
  
Partner and fellow member of the family department, Danny Hudson, commented: 'We are always on the lookout for talented local professionals, so we’re over the moon to have Lauren on board.'
