Claire Ward
I worked in house in local government for 20 years working at a county and unitary council before joining Anthony Collins in 2022.
I started in local government as an assistant solicitor specialising in employment law and sat as an Employment Tribunal Judge in Wales for ten years.
As my career developed, I specialised in governance, project management and working with elected members.
I am an experienced solicitor and now support local authorities nationwide, acting as a sounding board for council monitoring officers, chief executives and other senior officers on governance issues. I understand local government law and practice and offer practical advice and solutions.
