How many years have you worked in this field?

I began working at Taylor Bracewell in 2014, aged 16 and fresh out of school.

A year later I moved into the Wills and Probate Department and have never looked back.

I thought I would be rich!!

All of the amazing, friendly and funny staff that I work with, we’re like a big family- TB Dream Team!

What do you enjoy outside of work?

Walks with my Nellie (dog), weekends at the seaside and drinking lots of Cocktails!

Lauren acted more like a friend than a solicitor. Lauren and her staff answered all questions put to them curiously with help to me as my administration skills are nil. Thankyou Mr and Mrs McCabe opening-speachmarks

On behalf of my two sisters, I write this testimonial to express our sincere thanks. In particular our appreciation goes to Lauren Smith, partner of Taylor Bracewell, and her assistant, Keeley. Lauren was absolutely brilliant in carrying out our late brother's estate. Even though we couldn't attend their premises due to the Coronavirus, we were still able to access their firm by telephone, mail and email without any delays whatsoever. My sisters and I are very grateful for the excellent was in which Lauren had helped guide us through our difficult time. Lauren handled our situation in a delicate, caring and sensitive manner. This alleviated all the stress and trauma association with grief, allowing us the opportunity to come to terms of losing our beloved brother who we thought the world of.
