More about Clare

Which clients do you usually work with?

While I often act for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, sports personalities and people in the public eye – often with complicated asset structures – I support and advise a real variety of clients.

I have acted for police officers, members of the armed services, teachers and medics. If your case is complex or requires a partner-led strategic and commercial approach, I can still help you, often with the support of other members of my team.

I regularly act as a legal expert in international cases, advising overseas clients, their lawyers, or their family office on matters of English law. I like to offer a personal service with a global reach.

What notable cases have you worked on?

How do you help your clients achieve the best outcome?

Based on 30 years’ experience and an unwavering commitment to remain at the cutting edge of family law, I offer clients and referrers a truly flexible, national and international service.

I’m known for always going ‘the extra mile’ to achieve the very best outcome possible. I’m very generous with my time and am available at times to suit my clients who are often juggling high-profile or high-pressured business and/or personal lives.

What can I expect from my first meeting with you?

In our first meeting, whether face to face or otherwise, you can expect a calm, confidential discussion where you are truly heard and supported at what may feel like one of the most uncertain times in your life. It may be that you are planning for the future, separating from your partner, or experiencing turbulence within your familial relationships.

I will take the time to understand your circumstances and your priorities and then clearly guide you through your options with honesty, experience and reassurance, so you leave not only better informed but with a sense of direction and control.

If you’re ready to take that first step on your journey, whatever it may be, I would be very glad to speak with you.
