Claire Blakemore

Practice Areas

Claire gets to the heart of situations fast, giving reliable indications of best outcomes from the outset. She's strategic, commercial and practical but with strong emotional intelligence, understanding her clients wants and needs well.

Recognising the need for new and flexible ways of resolving disputes, Claire created an innovative and unique method by which couples can reach resolutions in a non-positional way. Uncouple provides a means of reaching resolutions without going to Court and working in a solution focused way with couples, but determining issues quickly and privately, if agreement can't be reach. This award winning method was first for family law.

Whilst Claire is a long standing mediator and collaborative practitioner, she identifies the best route to a resolution from the beginning and isn't shy of using her vast complex litigation experience, and taking a tough line in contested cases, when required.

Whether working with clients, she deals with complex financial claims, children issues and pre/post-nuptial agreements. She has far-reaching knowledge of trust and divorce law and is regularly instructed on cases involving trusts, whether acting for one of the parties or for the trustees, either as part of the financial remedy proceedings or in respect of enforcement proceedings.
