Joanna Dodd and Deborah Warren have both been made Partner in the Employment team, as part of a wider round of 11 promotions across Clarion’s Leeds-headquartered business.
Having joined Clarion as trainees and built their careers at the firm, Joanna and Deborah have played a crucial role in shaping the team’s strategy, client relationships and business development, leading on high level service delivery and gaining profiles as leading employment law professionals in the region.
In the Property Litigation team, Kate Joss has also been promoted to Legal Director, having led on incredibly complex cases and managed large teams on high-value litigation and complex property disputes.
The firm has also seen eight Senior Associate promotions: Georgia Samardija in Private Wealth; David Spence in Business Restructuring and Insolvency; Hannah Bywater and Anna-Elise Harvey in Employment; Paige Duller in Property Litigation; Avril Higginbottom in Banking; Lucy Alderson in Regulatory; and Harry Hobson in Commercial Dispute Resolution.
Roger Hutton, Joint Managing Partner at Clarion, said, “From Partner promotions to Senior Associates, I’m incredibly proud to have such a talented team of lawyers at every level at Clarion. It’s been a particular pleasure to have seen home-grown talent go from strength to strength in their careers here, and I’m delighted to see Joanna and Deborah step into their new roles as Partners.
“Each of these lawyers has demonstrated outstanding expertise and commitment to excellence, and their contributions have significantly enhanced our client service, firm culture and growth. These promotions are testament to that and I’m looking forward to seeing them continue to thrive at Clarion and develop in their new roles.”
