Leeds firm celebrates appointment of 10 more new recruits

Clarion has welcomed 10 new team members across the business in the second quarter of 2024.

These new additions include Rachel Spencer Robb who joins as Partner, heading up Clarion’s Family Law team. She brings over 25 years’ experience in family and matrimonial law, supporting families on a range of issues, across Yorkshire and the UK.

Dan Elsworth also joins Clarion, in the Debt Recovery team as Senior Associate, specialising primarily in commercial recoveries. With 15 years’ experience in the field, Dan supports on all aspects of recovery, including pre-legal collections, county court proceedings, enforcement, and both personal and corporate insolvency.

Clarion has also made three paralegal appointments, with Christopher Leadley and Abiel Ghebru joining the banking team, and Courtney Dixon in the private wealth team.

In the central operational teams, four new starters have joined: Anastasiya Stelmakh-Merrick joins the front of house, Maisy Black and Lawrence Morgan in account management, and Karen King in risk and regulatory. These appointments are critical to the continual support and growth of the firm.

Roger Hutton, Joint Managing Partner at Clarion, said: “We’re excited to welcome a number of talented individuals to the business, and to continue the growth of our team, having already welcomed 12 new team members in the first quarter of the year.

“These appointments are not only an integral part of our national growth strategy, but testament to the abundance of great legal talent across the region.

“We are dedicated to creating an entrepreneurial environment, where our latest recruits play a key role in delivering plans, forging client relationships and developing and nurturing their skills. I look forward to seeing them thrive at Clarion.”
