What I do
I’m a Solicitor in the Clinical Negligence team.
I joined the firm in June 2021 and progressed to my Trainee Solicitor role in May 2023. Within my training I completed a year in our Personal Injury team, before qualifying into Clinical Negligence in November 2024. I have growing experience in all types of clinical negligence work, to include delays in diagnosis, GP claims and dental negligence. I dedicate my time to providing a personable, bespoke, and thorough service to my clients. I’m keen to ensure they feel supported, heard, and advocated for, as victims of medical negligence.
I’m based at Norman House in Derby, but travel to all Smith Partnership branch offices and will visit clients at home to ensure all our clients have access to our services.
What I bring to the team
My colleagues would say I am enthusiastic, hard-working and passionate, but above all else, I bake a great banana bread.
Key interests
I'm a keen gym-goer and have recently taken up running. I enjoy walks in the Peak District with my dog, and finding a nice coffee shop. I've recently taught myself how to crochet.
Testimonials
There are moments in life when all we can do is ask for help. One of those moments came for me in the form of an inquest in to my wife’s death. I will forever be grateful that one of the people I turned to was Amelia Sutcliffe. Amelia was professional, informed, kind and reassuring. It was a constant source of comfort and strength to have her with us throughout such a difficult time. She was always ready to answer any questions I or my family had and she walked us through the whole process with care and understanding. She made sure we always knew exactly what to expect. Should I ever find myself facing such a difficult time in the future, I would be encouraged to know I had Amelia by my side.

Clare, you’re absolutely amazing, that is all I can say - you won me my daughter back. You and Amelia have both been amazing through all of my difficulties, I don’t think I’d have got through it without help from you both.
