Laura is a corporate solicitor who genuinely likes the business side of law. She brings an analytical, business-oriented approach to her work, with a focus on legal writing and drafting and a solid grounding in regulatory compliance across multiple industries.
Laura advises on corporate and governance matters, with a strong focus on business development, wealth creation, and sustainable economic outcomes. She structures and supports Indigenous-owned enterprises, advises on corporate governance frameworks, and helps Indigenous governments and their related entities with internal policies, compliance, and decision-making. Working closely with leadership and community stakeholders, she aligns the legal, governance, and commercial pieces to support long-term strategic goals and community-driven growth.
Laura has extensive in-house experience solving real-world commercial problems, including managing the day-to-day flow of procurement, sales, and services contracts and acting as sole counsel for a large organization. She has worked closely with Councils and First Nation economic development corporations and their related entities, helping communities organize themselves to benefit from the opportunities and projects presented to them. Her work spans commercial and real estate transactions, on- and off-reserve leasing, and the development of reserve lands, including structuring designations, permits, and long-term land tenure arrangements. Her work also spans corporate due diligence, intellectual property, and establishing internal contracting processes.
Laura earned her Bachelor of Laws from the University of British Columbia (2006) and is a member of the Law Society of British Columbia.
When she’s not doing the lawyer thing, Laura likes to putter in the garden, ride her horse, and attend nerdy events.
