Laura Coates

Partner

“Clyde & Co gives you the flexibility to progress at a time that’s right for you. You’re not held back by red tape. Being quite ambitious, a lot of the opportunities I’ve had are from my own hard work, but also the outcome of the processes that the firm put in place to support people. I’ve always felt supported.”
