Megan Latschrauner

Solicitor

I qualified into the Public Family Law team at Crane & Staples in September 2024, following a two year period of training with the firm.

I specialise in Public Family Matters, Children Law and Domestic Abuse matters including:

  • Appearing as a Court Advocate in front of Circuit, District and Magistrates Justice for both Public Law hearings and private law Children Act proceedings, including Child Arrangement Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders.
  • Assisting victims of domestic abuse and then advocating in a Court room in their applications for a Non- Molestation Order.
  • Representing parents in care proceedings, covering a broad range of allegations including drug and alcohol misuse, domestic abuse, neglect, and significant mental health concerns.

I take a pragmatic, but client-focussed approach to my cases, assisting clients through sensitive situations to try and achieve the best outcome available.

I volunteer at a local refuge, assisting the women with a variety of Children Act matters.

Outside the office

Outside of the office, I enjoy keeping active. I play for two local netball teams (GNC and Hatfield Leisure). I am looking forward to organising a season of netball matches between Crane & Staples and other local firms.

I am also a keen runner and aiming to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 2025.

I like to take on new challenges, especially for charitable causes. For the past two years I have taken part in the Lister Hospital Abseil, where our team raised funds for our local NHS trust.

  • Megan works tirelessly for her clients. She gives clear advice, is highly organised, and fiercely fights their corner. Clients trust and respect her, even when they must necessarily be given bad news, sometimes in frank terms. I think this is one of Megan's real strengths.
