Adviser Profile

Claire specialises in advising clients on the financial consequences of a relationship breakdown. Her expertise includes dealing with trusts and corporate assets, inherited wealth, complex remuneration structures and international assets, often where there are allegations of non-disclosure or dissipation. She also has a particular interest in wealth protection, advising clients on pre- and post-nuptial agreements.
