Clare Stanley KC

Barrister at WiIberforce Chambers

Speaker

Clare is a recent winner of Chambers & Partners’ Chancery Silk of the Year award. Clare is usually instructed in highly contentious and often hostile disputes, and provides advice across the range of areas in which she practices, helping clients to achieve their commercial aims without the need to prolong litigation. Praised for her written and oral advocacy, she is often involved in actions brought onshore and offshore in significant litigation involving claims for breach of trust and fiduciary duty, cross-border insolvency and major fraud cases. Much of her work is offshore, in particular in the Cayman Islands, involving complex offshore structures, and asset tracing. Chambers & Partners 2026 describes Clare as “a barrister with a phenomenal brain”, while Legal 500 2026 says “Clare is nothing short of exceptional.”
