Claire began her professional career as Assistant Press Officer to some of the major attractions in Historic Maritime Greenwich. Tiring of the constant press attention and endless "let's do lunch"es she moved into information and library work, starting as Information Assistant at oil and gas company, Amerada. Pausing briefly to study Renaissance art in Florence and take the grand tour of Australia, Claire came to work for Frere Cholmeley Bischoff. Claire remained through their subsequent merger to Eversheds where she held the position of Senior Information Officer. Claire joined Kingsley Napley in February 2008 as Library and Information Manager. In her spare time Claire enjoys Tai Chi and Chi Kung and practices her Italian on the cat.
