Our Values and Philosophy

Consilia Legal Directors and founders of the firm, Laura Clapton and Marie Walsh share their experience of launching the firm, their key values and the philosophy of the practice.

Our Name – What does consilia mean?

We worked together as colleagues for a number of years before launching Consilia Legal in 2014. At Consilia Legal, our team share a mission – to work with our clients to best achieve their goals. How do we do that? By providing pragmatic, creative and commercially sound advice to suit each individual client’s budget. This is the reason we chose the name “Consilia” which means working together in Latin. We believe Consilia represents who we are and our relationship with our clients.
