Laura Johnson

I am a senior associate in our professional indemnity team in Leeds and specialise in defending professional negligence claims on behalf of insurers and their insureds. I act for a wide range of professionals including solicitors, barristers, accountants, construction professionals and technology companies. My role also involves advising insurers on policy coverage issues and related disputes. 

One of the reasons clients come back to us again and again is that they know we will fight hard to secure the outcome that they want and on the terms that they want. We also give them clear, “no-nonsense” advice and work closely with them to develop a “tailor-made” case resolution strategy. This helps our clients to achieve their objectives in the most cost-effective way possible. Having us on board also means that our clients are free to focus more time and energy on other parts of their business while we take the stress out of the litigation process.

Legal 500 says that we’re “very responsive, with a very commercial approach”. 

In my spare time, I enjoy weight-training, high intensity cardio work-outs and taking long walks with my dog in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. I also have a keen interest in languages, and spent a year studying law in the University of Salamanca in Spain.
