Specialisms

Claire has advised both married and cohabiting clients on a number of issues, including divorce, financial settlements and contact with their children following separation.

Claire has experience in cases involving applications for internal and external relocation of children and complex children matters involving the allegations of domestic violence and drug and alcohol abuse. Claire has also advised clients on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and the issue of spousal maintenance.

Approach

Claire is very focused on her clients and ensuring that she fully understands their needs from the outset to ensure the best possible outcome. It is important to her that her clients feel that she has understood their issues and what is important to them.

Claire is very friendly and approachable but also has a no-nonsense approach. She understands that all clients have different needs and understanding of the legal process and will therefore tailor her approach to each individual client.

Training & employment

Claire previously had a successful career within the mortgage industry before embarking on a career change into law. She completed her law degree with first class honours and LPC with a distinction in Leeds and qualified in early 2018.

Outside of work

Claire enjoys spending time with her family and friends, attending her local gym and walking. She would love to travel more in the future both in Europe and further afield, ideally starting with Asia and America.

She really enjoys a challenge and took part in Tough Mudder in 2018 and has taken part in half marathons for charity in the past.

What our clients say

Thank you so much for your help in the last year and a bit. I will say the following: You have at all times acted in a very professional manner and your letters to my wife’s solicitor were very eloquently written with all needed facts in place. I think with another solicitor the outcome would have been completely different and not as successful as it was. You have a great understanding marital law and I would not hesitate to recommend you to someone else in the future.

Client: Mr E

Claire Chisnall. All I have to say is what a fantastic solicitor she is. She is dedicated to her client and will fight your cause to the very best of her ability. Keeps you informed all the way and leaves no stone unturned. Would highly recommend her and the company.

Client: Mr E

May I take this opportunity to show my gratitude and warmest thanks to Claire Chisnall and Sarah-Barr-Young, for providing the children and I with an exceptional service. Divorce is one of the most emotional, stressful and anxious times. Claire and her team gave me great confidence and reassurance along the entire process. Claire worked extremely hard to financially protect my children and I with her professional work ethic. I could not think of a more sincere solicitor who goes that extra mile for her clients. She explained every detail in depth giving me the confidence that everything I agreed on was for the benefit of my children. Overall, I am so happy with the outcome. I can now leave the past behind and focus on a Healthy, Wealthy, Happy life with my new family. Forever grateful Claire. Thank you once again to all of the team at Stowe Family Law.

Client: Miss H

Many thanks for all the hard work you have done in supporting my case. It has been a long and rocky road but glad to finally see the end. I will certainly recommend you and use you again in the future.

Client: Ms A

The level of service I received from Stowe Family Law was incredible, through a particularly difficult chapter. Both Sarah Barr-Young and Claire Chisnall are exceptional advocates, and I would not give it a second thought in using their services again should I have the need.

Client: Mr L

I would like to thank you for all your support through what has been a traumatic time ( in more ways than one ). I feel that the outcome was as good as could be achieved in the circumstances, and that you were informative, courteous and efficient throughout the whole process. If I am unfortunate enough to require future representation, I would certainly return to you.

Client: Mr P
