Client Reviews
"Claire was an invaluable part of our team at Myco. She consistently brought a high level of professionalism, strategic thinking, and follow-through to every project she touched. Her legal expertise combined with her business acumen made her a go-to advisor not only for compliance and contract matters, but also for broader organizational strategy. She excelled at breaking down complex problems into clear, actionable steps, and she has an exceptional ability to communicate across teams. Claire ensured our contracts and partnerships were airtight, while also keeping an eye on long-term scalability and risk management. What stood out most was her initiative — Claire didn’t just handle the tasks assigned to her; she proactively identified opportunities, anticipated challenges, and implemented solutions that strengthened our operations. Her work ethic and reliability gave me complete confidence that critical matters were in excellent hands. I would recommend Claire to any organization seeking a sharp, versatile, and trustworthy professional who can lead with both insight and integrity."
""Claire’s leadership during the launch and buildout of Daily Objective Distillery was nothing short of remarkable. From the earliest stages of planning through execution, she took ownership of every detail — legal, operational, and financial — and pushed the project forward with relentless determination. She managed complex licensing and compliance requirements with the TTB, state, and county authorities, ensuring we stayed ahead of regulatory hurdles. On the operations side, she coordinated vendor negotiations, construction buildouts, equipment procurement, and budget planning, all while keeping the team aligned and accountable. What impressed me most was her ability to bridge strategy with execution. Claire could draft contracts and negotiate deals one moment, then shift seamlessly into overseeing contractors, developing pro forma budgets, or designing guest experiences for the distillery. Her business acumen, creativity, and legal background were essential to making DOD a reality. Claire’s vision and commitment laid the foundation for the distillery’s success. Without her guidance, organization, and perseverance, we simply wouldn’t be where we are today. She has proven herself to be a highly capable executive and counsel, and I have no doubt she will continue to excel in any venture she takes on next.""
