Lauren Dickson

Approach to the work

Lauren approaches her work with meticulous attention to detail and a deep commitment to fairness. She is motivated to advocate for the rights of clients who are often facing some of the most vulnerable and uncertain moments of their lives.

With a clear understanding that the criminal justice system can be marked by imbalance and injustice, Lauren is driven to ensure her clients do not fall victim to those flaws. She treats every client with respect and sensitivity, dedicating time and focus to analysing evidence and preparing each case thoroughly. Throughout the process, she keeps her clients updated and supported, recognising the importance of reassurance and communication in reducing anxiety during difficult proceedings.

Education

Lauren was raised in Winchester and studied at Kings’ School Winchester and Peter Symonds College before completing a BA in English Literature in The University of Surrey and a Master’s in Law at the University of Law, graduating with High Commendation for her dissertation on youth sentencing reform.

She gained practical experience as a volunteer at The University of Law’s Family Law Advice Clinic, providing free legal guidance under solicitor supervision, and at the Witness Support Service at Winchester Crown Court, supporting witnesses and families through trial proceedings.

As a member of SpeedMooting.com, she regularly developed her advocacy and courtroom skills alongside legal professionals.
