LAURA COOKE
All of us on the committee and in the office at BILA are deeply upset to learn that our Chair, Laura Cooke, died unexpectedly and suddenly on Monday 16th June.
Laura was a lovely person as well as a first-rate, admired lawyer with a successful career at Clyde & Co. She became Chair of BILA in November 2024 after a two-year term as Vice-Chair. In both roles she was excellent and she had a huge enthusiasm for BILA. She was on the committee for eight years, throughout that time contributing greatly to the organisation. As a warm and sincere personality she was a great friend to many in the BILA community and in the insurance market and legal profession at large.
Laura leaves a husband and two children. They are firmly in our thoughts and prayers. We are in profound sorrow for their enormous loss.
