Laura Gathercole

Laura is instilled with strong ethical values and always displays commitment, integrity and compassion

I joined LHD Lawyers in 2013 and I am proud to be part of a team, who like me, are extremely passionate about helping others by providing compensation to people who have suffered an injury that impedes their quality of life.

In my role at LHD Lawyers I work across a broad range of client matters including motor vehicle accidents and public liability claims. As well as this, I have had the opportunity of working alongside our Managing Director Matthew Berenger on complex public liability matters in the Supreme Court.

As part of producing a successful case, I engage with clients on a daily basis, building a strong rapport in order to have a thorough understanding of their needs and expectations. I aim to ensure that clients are well informed of their legal rights by clearly explaining legal issues in common language that is easy to understand.

I am committed to making sure that matters are reviewed and managed in an efficient way whilst still maintaining a high level of professionalism and efficiency.

The plaintiff compensation profession is not only challenging but also personally rewarding. I believe strong ethical values are crucial when attending to client needs and achieving the best possible legal outcomes.

My ambition is to mentor other young professionals and hope to pass on these values and technical knowledge to others. When not at work I enjoy keeping fit, boxing, travelling, being outdoors and socialising with friends.
