What can I do for you

Claire is a real estate lawyer with a broad range of experience, including advising on transactions and projects which involve the construction of new buildings and infrastructure, such as solar parks and wind farms, distribution centres, motor dealerships and offices.

Claire has also acted for charities and public sector bodies in respect of their property portfolios and for corporate occupiers in connection with the management of the property they let and own. Claire’s work spans many sectors, with a particular focus on energy, especially renewable energy projects.

Supporting your ambitions

Claire brings together sector knowledge and technical expertise with a pragmatic, collaborative approach to deliver transactions and achieve clients’ strategic objectives. Renewable energy projects can be time sensitive and the land issues can be complicated. Claire understands that clients need a solicitor who stays ahead of problems, finds solutions quickly and never loses sight of the commercial goal.

What do others say

One client remarked that “Claire is very knowledgeable and her approach is practical and commercially focused and she is efficient, organised and always very obliging and pleasant to deal with”.

What else should you know

Claire is committed to developing junior members of the team and creating a supportive environment that enables the next generation to grow in confidence, develop their commercial awareness and realise their potential.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
