Claudia trained at Anthony Collins Solicitors, a highly regarded multi-disciplinary law firm based in Birmingham. She qualified in 2012, and moved to the Leeds team of Mills & Reeve in 2017. Having thoroughly enjoyed 9 brilliant years at Mills & Reeve, she moved to Consilia as a Consultant in May 2026, seeking the same commitment to client service and excellence but in a more ambitious and agile environment.  

Claudia became a Senior Associate in Mills & Reeve in 2017, and a Principal Associate in 2020. Preferring the Consultancy route over the partnership pathway, she moved to Consilia as a Consultant in 2026.

She has provided training to solicitors and professionals as part of Safe Lives projects and privately, on the impact of domestic abuse.
