Louise Allard

About this Speaker

Louise is a founding Director of Allard Bailey Family Law and has over 16 years’ experience of family law including, divorce, separation, children disputes, adoption and surrogacy. Her clients come from all walks of life including entrepreneurs, company director’s, investors, shareholders and their spouses. Many of her cases have an international element.

Louise is totally committed to helping people through some of the most difficult times of their lives with dignity and respect. She steers clients around conflict if possible, opting for a conciliatory approach to reach a fair agreement. To aid this, Louise recommends that anyone with business interests, a well-established career or family wealth should enter into a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement when they marry. “No one wants to think about separating before they are married, but the reality is relationships do break down. It might be a tricky conversation, but it is a lot easier agreeing what is fair while you are still enjoying the best of times, rather than when you are in the worst of times.”

That said, Louise represents her clients tenaciously and will always fight to get the best outcome. She works tirelessly to help those affected by domestic violence – men, women and children – running the firm’s subsidised-fee scheme to assist in these cases.
