Claire Russell has spent most of her career working within the legal profession. She started her career at a prominent solicitors’ practice in Brighton where she specialised in litigation. After obtaining her legal qualification Claire pursued her passion for interior design. She set up her own successful interior design business in Chester working on both private and commercial projects. Prior to moving to the South West she won a ‘Cheshire Woman of the Year’ award for Professional Achievement and Service to the Community.

Since 2000 Claire has worked at two leading sets of Chambers in Bristol. As well as being responsible for diary organisation, practice management and fees negotiation, Claire also undertook a leading role in the marketing of Chambers.

One of Claire’s main strengths is her motivational skills. Over the years, lawyers have had thrust upon them increasing demands of compliance and administration. Whilst themselves good lawyers, limited time and resources prevent them from effectively managing their practice and thus they under-achieve in both profitability and job satisfaction. Through Russell Killah, Claire aims to advise, support and inspire clients to both realise and achieve success.

Claire still works freelance in the legal sector. She is also a member of The Law Society’s Law Management Section.
