Laura Rumsey

Director - Head of Private Client

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a Director and Head of the Private Client team, based at our Norwich office. I qualified as a solicitor in 2016 having attended the University of Warwick to complete a law degree, before completing the Legal Practice Course at BPP Cambridge. I completed my training contract in 2016 at Rogers & Norton, having initially joined the practice in 2013. I advise on a wide range of private client work focussing on Wills, Probate, Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection work alongside administering trusts. I manage the affairs of a number of clients who are unable to do so themselves either through lacking mental capacity or needing assistance with their finances. I am a full member of STEP having specialised in advising vulnerable clients and a full member of Solicitors for the Elderly. I also trained as a Dementia Champion with the Alzheimer’s Society, so I am able to deliver sessions to colleagues, contacts and the public.

Exceptional support and clear guidance

I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Laura Rumsey at Rogers & Norton Solicitors and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, approachable and friendly, and has been a tremendous help to me in dealing with my late mother’s estate and providing clear probate advice. She inspires complete confidence from the outset, always offering clear, practical guidance and excellent communication. Her knowledgeable and supportive manner made everything much easier to navigate. It was also incredibly helpful to be able to book appointments at an office location convenient for me. Overall, she has been superb to deal with, and I’m very grateful for all her assistance.

Excellent Service When We Really Needed It

Laura Rumsey at Rogers & Norton handled our parents' financial affairs for us in their final couple of years, and after their death, and she was an absolute credit to the company and the profession. We felt at all times that Laura treated our parents and us as people, not just a job to be done, and we are extremely grateful for that.
