Clare Veal

Clare is one of our consultant solicitors specialising in commercial contracts, intellectual property, data protection and anything media and marketing related, including the evolution of AI (artificial intelligence) and all the legal issues that comes with this!

Clare has a strong in-house legal background, having completed her legal training at HSBC Holdings plc (qualifying in 2002) and then spending some time in the legal team at Electronic Arts Limited (EA Games) advising the Online and Marketing team.  She therefore understands the importance of being commercial and dealing with business issues in a pragmatic way.

As well as her in-house experience, Clare has also worked in private practice for a number of years, and so equally understands the importance of providing top quality legal advice and being attentive to clients.

Clare’s career highlights include protecting the HSBC branding from third party infringements, working on the legals for the first digital downloads of computer games, and creating a suite of legal template documents for psychology private practices (and helping in excess of 200 psychologists transition from the NHS when setting up their own independent private practices).

Clare is passionate about finding solutions for her clients in a friendly and clear manner, to ensure the best legal solutions are implemented with the least amount of fuss.

Outside of work, Clare loves spending time with her family, as well as swimming, Pilates, greenhouse pottering and walks in the beautiful countryside in and around Haslemere.
