Lara Kuehl is a leading commercial and chancery junior, with particular expertise in high value disputes in England & Wales and offshore.

Lara’s practice spans all aspects of commercial litigation and arbitration, company law, restructuring and insolvency, property litigation and civil fraud.

In the main legal directories, Chambers UK and Chambers Global, Legal 500 and Lexology UK Bar, Lara holds current rankings across five practice areas (Commercial Litigation, Commercial Chancery, Insolvency / Restructuring, Company and Property Litigation).

Lara is highly regarded for her advocacy and, in the majority of her cases, she acts as lead or sole advocate. She frequently appears (unled) against senior juniors or KCs. However, she is equally comfortable acting as junior counsel led by more senior barristers from within or outside chambers, as she is currently doing across a range of cases in England and internationally.

In addition to her private work, Lara also undertakes work on behalf of the UK Government. She is on the Attorney General’s B Panel of Junior Counsel to the Crown and represents the Government in commercial, property, company and insolvency matters.

Before transferring to the English Bar, Lara was a solicitor in the London Commercial Disputes teams of two US firms: Weil, Gotshal & Manges and McDermott Will & Emery UK LLP. Between 2013 and 2015, Lara practised as a Cayman Islands attorney in the Dispute Resolution and Insolvency group at Maples and Calder.
