Clarion has made significant strides in expanding their team during the second quarter of 2024 with ten notable appointments. These additions span across various departments and mark a strategic push to enhance the firm’s capabilities.
Rachel Spencer Robb, a well-regarded professional with more than 25 years of expertise in family and matrimonial law, has been brought on as a partner. She is set to lead the family law team. Her background in collaborative law and consistent recognition in leading legal directories underscore her leadership skills. Rachel is expected to further cement Clarion’s standing in the legal field, particularly as the firm already holds a Tier 1 ranking in the Legal 500. Rachel expressed her enthusiasm: ‘I am thrilled to join Clarion and lead the family law team.’
Dan Elsworth’s appointment as a senior associate in the debt recovery team strengthens Clarion’s capacity in commercial recoveries. With 15 years of experience covering pre-legal collections and various forms of insolvency, Dan’s addition aligns with Clarion’s focus on excellence and robust client service. He remarked, ‘I look forward to contributing to Clarion’s already impressive debt recovery team.’
In a move to enhance their legal resource pool, Clarion has brought three new paralegals on board. Christopher Leadley and Abiel Ghebru join the banking team, while Courtney Dixon strengthens the private wealth division, indicating the firm’s intent to bolster its expertise and resources across these key financial sectors.
Further supporting the firm’s operations, Clarion has enlisted four new members to its central teams. The arrival of Anastasiya Stelmakh-Merrick at the front of house, Maisy Black and Lawrence Morgan in account management, and Karen King in risk and regulatory roles are pivotal to maintaining operational efficiency.
Roger Hutton, joint managing partner, articulated the strategic importance of these appointments, noting their role in the firm’s national growth strategy and the cultivation of new talent. He stated, ‘We’re excited to welcome a number of talented individuals to the business, and to continue the growth of our team.’
