Leeds-based law firm and Connect Yorkshire Partner Clarion has promoted two new partners.
Sophie Morley, who heads up Clarion’s real estate litigation team, joined the firm in 2017 as a legal director having previously worked for national and international firms.
With 20 years’ experience in real estate litigation, her expertise includes advising on commercial landlord and tenant disputes, lease renewals, rent reviews, break clauses, dilapidations and applications for consent.
With a 14-year track record as a transactional lawyer, Phil Dine joined Clarion in 2017 as a legal director working in the banking team. He has experience of acting for both funders and borrowers with a key focus on real estate investment and development finance transactions.
Roger Hutton, joint managing partner at Clarion, said: “Both Sophie and Phil have made a valuable contribution to Clarion’s continued growth. Not only are they experts in their respective fields of law, but they have also proved able to cement and develop strong relationships with clients, build the firm’s reputation and provide training and support for our younger lawyers.
“We congratulate them both on their well-earned promotion to partner.”
