About Laura
Laura Terpsma built a solid academic foundation before entering practice. She earned a B.A. from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, a J.D. from Brooklyn Law School and an LL.M. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2019. She also holds certification in Healthcare Compliance from the Health Care Compliance Association.
Her legal training spans traditional law school work and advanced graduate study. The LL.M. added a formal postgraduate credential to a conventional path through law school. That combination of degrees has informed the way she approaches regulatory and compliance questions.
Terpsma is licensed to practice in Michigan. Over the years she has developed practical experience advising on regulatory frameworks and compliance systems. Colleagues describe her as methodical. She tends to break complex rules into manageable steps and focuses on practical outcomes rather than abstract theory.
She earned her healthcare compliance certification through the Health Care Compliance Association. That credential signals additional preparation for the detailed recordkeeping, reporting and internal policy work required of institutions and professionals operating under federal and state health rules. The certification complements the coursework and research she completed during her LL.M. program.
Today Terpsma is part of Chapman Law Group. Her role there centers on matters that intersect law and health care regulation. She counsels clients on compliance programs, internal processes and regulatory obligations. She also assists in preparing policy documents and in advising on the implications of changing administrative rules.
Clients and other lawyers who have worked with Terpsma note a steady, analytical approach. She prefers clear protocols and careful documentation. She avoids theatrical motions and instead relies on steady preparation and attention to detail. That style fits the kind of regulatory work that rewards precision and caution.
Her practice continues at Chapman Law Group, where she concentrates on health care regulation and compliance issues.
