Connect Yorkshire Partner and Leeds-based law firm Clarion has made three promotions in its costs and litigation funding team including a new director.
Stephanie Kaye, who leads Clarion’s court of protection costs service, has been promoted from senior associate to legal director.
Over the last eight years with Clarion, Kaye has been instrumental in the practice’s growth and continued success. Having progressed through the CILEx qualified route, she has helped the team gain recognition as a standout provided for Court of Protection costs work in the UK. As well as helping to manage numerous client relationships, she oversees seven of the firm’s apprentices.
Paralegals in the costs and litigation funding team, Tanya Foran and Bridie Sanderson, have both been promoted to associates (non-qualified lawyers).
Ella Wilkinson, who joined the team in 2018 as a non-qualified paralegal, has also finished her paralegal apprenticeship with Damar and is now a qualified paralegal.
Andrew McAulay, partner and head of the costs and litigation funding team, said: “There’s no doubt that Stephanie has been an important driver in our success, she’s a great all-rounder as well as being recognised as a national expert in the field of Court of Protection Costs. Her career route makes Stephanie an inspiring role model and she has taken on a valuable mentoring and management role with more junior colleagues, helping them to enhance their skills.
“It’s also satisfying to see two of our talented legal services team, Tanya and Bridie, being rewarded for their important contribution to the team – we look forward to them continuing to develop their careers with Clarion.”
