Blanchards Bailey Partner Laura Martin Appointed President of Dorset Law Society for 2026

Blanchards Bailey LLP is pleased to announce that Laura Martin, Partner and Head of the firm’s Family Law team, has been appointed President of Dorset Law Society for 2026.

Dorset Law Society plays an essential role in supporting the local legal profession, promoting professional standards, and providing a vital forum for collaboration across Dorset. Laura’s appointment reflects her longstanding commitment to the local legal community, and her experience advising individuals and families across the southwest.

Laura is joined in 2026 by her Blanchards Bailey colleagues Paul Dunlop, who has been appointed Treasurer, and Hayley Stack, who has been appointed Deputy Vice-President and Dinner Secretary.

I’m honoured to be appointed President of Dorset Law Society for 2026. Dorset has been at the heart of my professional career, and I’m committed to supporting a strong, connected legal community across the county. I look forward to working with colleagues across the Society to build on the excellent work of recent years, champion professional standards, and to ensure the Society continues to provide a valuable voice and network for local practitioners.
