Lara Webber
Pupil Barrister

Read Bio

  • Lara is a Pupil Barrister at Unit Chambers with an emerging practice in family law. She is recognised for a calm, prepared and highly structured approach to advocacy; a “less is more” style that values clarity, economy of submission and measured judgment.

    Lara brings strong emotional intelligence to her work: she reads people and courtroom dynamics well, structures arguments logically, and communicates in a way that reassures clients and assists solicitors.

    Currently undertaking pupillage under the supervision of Lisa Edmunds, Lara’s experience spans complex private children matters, financial remedy work and related family law disputes. She is particularly drawn to cases where careful preparation, strategic negotiation and clear advocacy make a measurable difference to clients’ lives.
