Clare Fleming

Partner

Wills, Trusts and Probate

Clare joined Harrison Drury in 2020 as Head of the Private Client Team. Harrison Drury’s Private Client team is now one of the largest in the North West.

After qualifying as a solicitor in 2005 she worked for a number of regional firms in the South East of England until relocating to Lancashire in 2020.

She specialises in private client matters including the drafting of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, inheritance tax planning and the administration of estates and trusts.

Clare’s clients include entrepreneurs and other professionals. Some of her career highlights are advising the trustees on a trust set up by an artist who exhibits in the Tate Gallery and drafting Wills for a number of household names.

She is both approachable and proactive and prides herself on providing an efficient and client focused service.

In 2014 Clare was shortlisted for Inheritance Tax Planning Solicitor in Finance Monthly.

Outside of work you can find me…

Outside of work Clare enjoys swimming and considers her ‘mastermind subject’ to be 90s pop music.
