Clara leads the Marlowe office and the private client team. She joined in 2011 to open the second office and has been a partner since 2014.
Her clients include families, retiring business owners and executors dealing with a death. She makes time for a first meeting that is unhurried and a draft that is clear, and she writes a short letter with every document explaining what it does.
She visits clients at home when travelling is difficult.
