Claire Gordon

Highly able and intelligent, with good judgement, and sensitive to clients’ needs.

Legal 500, 2010

 

Claire enjoys a diverse client base and an extensive caseload involving all aspects of family law for high net worth individuals, covering divorce, financial settlements, private law children matters, enforcement, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, civil partnership matters and unmarried couples.

Her cases regularly include very complex financial, business and international matters, often involving offshore assets and trusts. Claire is a collaborative lawyer and a mediator and regards both practices as valuable alternative means of settling disputes.

Claire has been recommended as a leading family lawyer by the Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 directories. Chambers has described her as 'as junior lawyer with a growing reputation' and Legal 500 as 'pragmatic'.

She has extensive experience of acting for entrepreneurs, professionals and celebrities, and their spouses or partners on all aspects of family law. Her cases involve complex financial and children matters as a result of the breakdown in both married and unmarried relationships, which often incorporate an international perspective and are further complicated by tax or trust issues.
