Megan Latschrauner
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.
