Position
Clare is a chartered UK trade mark attorney and heads up Venner Shipley’s trade mark team. She has been working in trade marks since 2001 but has a lifetime of experience in the legal profession. Prior to training and qualifying as a Chartered Trade Mark Attorney, Clare worked and qualified as an Associate of the Association of Law Costs Draftsmen. Her experience with legal costs gives her valuable insight into controlling and managing costs for her clients, who value not only this but the pragmatic and strategic advice she gives them.
