Claire is also a representative before the Unified Patent Court.

In addition, Clare has experience of handling domain name disputes and complaints before the Company Names Tribunal.

Described in legal directories as “relaxed and unflappable under pressure” and praised for her sound counsel and clear communication, Clare regularly advises clients on their positions vis-à-vis third parties and enjoys conducting settlement negotiations on their behalf.
