Lawrence Cohen
Consulting

I am a District Judge in the County Court (England and Wales). I was the longest serving full time District Judge in the country when I retired.

I retired at the end of May 2025.

I am now available for private work using my Judicial skills and experience built up over the last 32 years.

As a highly experienced District Judge with a distinguished career in civil and family law, I specialise in private dispute resolution.

I am available for private Financial Dispute Resolutions (FDRs), mediation, arbitration, and litigation consultancy, offering expert insight from a judicial perspective.

I welcome instructions from solicitors, accountants, and management consultants seeking pragmatic, cost-effective solutions for their clients. My approach ensures fair, efficient dispute resolution, helping parties navigate complex legal issues with clarity and confidence.

Based in London, I am available to travel nationwide, and I welcome emergency instructions.

In addition to ADR and litigation consultancy, I will also be available for Non-Executive Director roles, where my judicial experience, analytical skills, and decision-making expertise can provide valuable governance and risk management insights. I am keen to contribute to boards, particularly in sectors where legal and regulatory considerations are key.

With a deep understanding of civil and family litigation, I provide strategic advice tailored to the nuances of each case. Whether assisting legal professionals with case strategy, facilitating alternative dispute resolution, or contributing to corporate governance, my focus is always on achieving balanced, practical outcomes.
