Two lawyers have joined the private wealth team at Clarion.
Taking the team to 10 people, Brindley Meredith joins Leeds-based Clarion as an associate solicitor and Natalie Goldfinch as a paralegal.
Meredith is a six-year qualified solicitor and has spent the last five years with a firm in London.
As well as having extensive experience of managing matters for wealthy individuals, including inheritance tax planning, trusts and wills, he has specialist knowledge of acting for commercial property owners.
Goldfinch has more than three years of experience and a particular expertise in trust administration.
Stephanie Parish, legal director in Clarion’s private wealth team, commented: “It’s great to be attracting the best talent as we continue to grow. These latest appointments add further depth and demonstrate Clarion’s commitment to invest in our strong private client offering.”
Explaining his attraction to the firm, Meredith said: “Having heard great things about Clarion, when I was looking at moving back to Yorkshire, I was keen to talk to them.
“It quickly became apparent that Clarion would be a place I would enjoy working, and that the private wealth team would be not only a great personal fit, but would also provide a fantastic opportunity to further develop as a private wealth lawyer.”
Goldfinch added: “Given the private wealth team’s strong regional and national reputation, coupled with its inter-departmental relationships, particularly with the contentious private client team, I’m excited that I will be collaborating on a wide variety of matters that promise to be highly interesting and rewarding.
“I was also attracted by Clarion’s positive culture as a firm that cares deeply for colleagues and the outstanding client service it provides.”
