Laura Williamson

How can I help you?

I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Wills, Trusts & Probate team. I support our case handlers with their files and can assist clients with a range of matters including the creation of a new will, the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney, or the administering of the estate of a loved one who has died. 

Many clients come to us when they’re going through a really difficult time, and my aim is to make these processes as stress-free as possible for them. 

A little about me 

I love travelling and the outdoors, having spent two years travelling around Canada. At the moment, I spend most of my free time studying for the Legal Practice Course, but when I’m not, I enjoy hiking and seeing my friends. 

My experience

I took an alternative route into law. I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a first-class History degree in 2018 and then had a career working for Members of Parliament in Westminster - through Brexit, Covid-19 and beyond. 

While working, I completed a first-class Law conversion at the University of Law in 2023, for which I was awarded a Career-Changer Scholarship. I joined Jackson Lees as a paralegal in the Wills, Trusts & Probate Team before becoming a Trainee Solicitor in September 2026.
