Claire Shaw is a vocal coach and communication strategist who applies her 20 years of voice training experience to help attorneys build trust, deepen client relationships, and communicate with authority in high-stakes settings.

In an era where AI can draft briefs and analyze case law, Claire believes that voice—the uniquely human element of legal practice, has never been more critical. She has coached attorneys at environmental, human rights, and civil rights firms, equipping them with the vocal presence needed to argue persuasively, lead confidently, and command respect in moments where humanity matters most.

Her clients include trial lawyers, corporate counsel, law firm partners, and in-house teams across the UK and USA who understand that technology may handle the research, but only human connection wins the argument.

With a background as a professional opera singer and experience at renowned institutions including Wigmore Hall, The Metropolitan Opera, and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Claire brings a unique perspective on voice as the irreplaceable tool for influence and leadership in law.
