Meet Claire Davis

Born and raised in Newport, Claire Davis has dedicated her distinguished legal career to serving her local community, building a reputation for professionalism, compassion and specialist expertise in helping individuals and families plan for the future.

Claire was educated at Cheltenham Ladies’ College before studying Law at the University of Reading, where she graduated with an LLB and was awarded the prestigious Maxwell Law Prize for achieving the highest degree results in her year.

Following completion of her Law Society Finals in Guildford, Claire returned to Newport to begin her legal training at the family firm, Le Brasseur Davis & Sons. Working alongside her father and uncle, Gilbert and Tom Davis, both highly respected and established solicitors, she developed the strong professional values and commitment to client care that have remained central to her practice.

Qualifying as a solicitor in 1985, Claire continued to practise in Newport while successfully balancing her professional responsibilities with raising two children. In 1997, she took over the leadership of the family firm, concentrating her expertise on **Wills, Probate, Estate Planning and legal matters affecting older and vulnerable clients**.

Claire is particularly passionate about protecting the interests, dignity and independence of people in later life. Her commitment to this important area of law is reflected in her appointment as the **only Welsh Director of the Association of Lifetime Lawyers**, a national organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in legal services for older and vulnerable individuals.

Through her work with the Association, Claire helps ensure that the needs and concerns of older people, carers and vulnerable clients are recognised and represented at both local and national levels, including in matters involving the Court of Protection and the Office of the Public Guardian.

With more than four decades of legal experience, Claire combines extensive specialist knowledge with a personal, approachable and understanding manner. She takes pride in providing clear, practical advice, helping clients and their families make informed decisions and achieve peace of mind when planning for the future.
