Meet Carla

I joined Lawrence Stephens as a trainee and qualified into the Corporate and Commercial team in September 2023.

I have experience working on a range of corporate and commercial matters, including share and asset sales, mergers & acquisitions, shareholder agreements and company restructures. I have a particular interest in owner-managed businesses in the FMCG market. I enjoy assisting founders with establishing strong legal foundations and protections for their company, and then explaining and guiding them through the corporate life-cycle as they eventually prepare for an exit.

I am actively involved in building the culture of the firm, whether it be organising firm-wide social events or helping manage our in-house social and charitable initiative whereby staff are allocated to teams or ‘Houses’ and can take part in various initiatives to win House points. This initiative was born out of a desire to encourage in-person collaboration and competition through events and charity initiatives, whilst also providing a platform to recognise and award individual achievements.

Outside of my interest in law, I am a keen swimmer and movie-watcher, anything from Pixar to true crime documentaries.  I also love trying new food but admit to doing more eating than cooking!
