Claire specialises in employment law, supporting the employment team across know-how, precedents, technical expertise, and training.
A qualified barrister (called to the Bar in 2003), Claire initially practised in civil litigation before moving exclusively to employment law, in which she has over 20 years' experience.
Prior to her current PDL role, Claire worked for a trade association and subsequently a niche employment law firm, advising blue-chip clients, SMEs, and charities across all areas of employment law — including unfair dismissal, redundancy and reorganisation, TUPE, whistleblowing, and discrimination. Her practice was predominantly litigation-focused, with regular appearances in Employment Tribunals across England and Wales and Scotland.
Claire has conducted investigations in both the public and private sectors, holds accreditation as a mediator, and has delivered training — including to regulatory bodies — with a particular focus on diversity and inclusion.
