She is also experienced in advising in relation to pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, separation agreements and surrogacy matters, providing guidance and support to either the surrogate or the intended parents, as well as their respective families.

In addition to extensive litigation experience, Claire practices as a collaborative lawyer and mediator which enables her to support clients to resolve their disputes in a constructive and conciliatory manner without the need for Court intervention.
