Clare is a Partner in the Property Litigation team
Clare brings over a decade of litigation experience, including nearly seven years as a qualified solicitor, following earlier years as a paralegal. Initially qualifying into general disputes, Clare quickly discovered her passion for property litigation. Having spent much of her career in Wales, she offers deep insight into the Welsh market and its distinctions from England, while also advising clients across England and internationally.
Her expertise spans residential property litigation, covering rental disputes and landlord responsibilities in both England and Wales, as well as land disputes involving easements, boundaries, restrictive covenants, and ownership issues. Clare also provides comprehensive commercial property litigation services, advising landlords and tenants on matters such as rent reviews, break notices, forfeiture, dilapidations, and covenant disputes.
Clare is highly experienced in advising on the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, delivering guidance on both general provisions and niche scenarios, including service occupancy arrangements, charities, and universities. She has shared her knowledge through webinars and resources with Lexis.
In addition, Clare has significant experience in complex dilapidations claims, offering strategic advice to both landlords and tenants, and has acted for numerous GP practices in disputes with private and public sector landlords over leases, service charges, and rent.
