Clarion Solicitors LLP is one of the most outstanding legal practices in Leeds, combining a rapidly growing corporate transactional team with a full range of services for businesses, including commercial property, intellectual property, employment and commercial work, as well as dispute resolution, corporate recovery and business crime and regulatory matters, together with a range of private client services.
The firm: Clarion Solicitors LLP represents a unique project amongst contemporary law firms. It is committed to delivering services of the highest quality to businesses, individuals, and to the institutions that serve them, and to being the firm of choice for knowledgeable and entrepreneurial users of legal services, both in its home region and further afield. It will do that without diluting its distinctive culture or seeking numerical growth for its own sake, but will concentrate instead on attracting the most talented people at all levels who are excited by the opportunities the firm and its vision can offer.
The firm’s approach rests on an unwavering commitment to the traditions of integrity and professionalism, and also on a clear vision that more can be delivered to clients: greater clarity and innovation in thought and expression, more and better communication at all levels of the firm’s activities, enhanced transparency in the processes through which the firm guides its clients, and a commitment and energy which focus its clients’ needs and intentions into a clear call to action.
Types of work undertaken: Clarion is made up of nine departments: corporate and commercial, which includes intellectual property teams as well as corporate finance and commercial expertise; employment, acting for businesses, senior executives and directors; property, including commercial and residential teams; dispute resolution, in a full range of areas for businesses and individuals; private client, including estate planning and probate; family, offering full matrimonial and family law services; corporate recovery, for both institutions and companies; business crime and regulatory, handling advice on regulatory issues alongside one of the major criminal defence practices in the north of England; and costs and litigation funding, a specialist team providing advice and costing services in this technical area.
Multi-disciplinary teams concentrate on specific industry sectors. These include sports and media, where the firm has acted for household-name sports clubs and governing bodies for a number of years, as well as providing expertise in media and the arts that is unique in the region. Brand and innovation expertise includes advice to brand owners and inventors on protection and exploitation of key assets. Financial services advice includes acting for established financial institutions, as well as up-and-coming lenders and data managers. Leisure and entertainment expertise covers the entire spectrum of licensing and other work in this sector, while third sector activities cover charities and not-for-profit enterprises. Business finance and turnaround experience includes corporate finance, banking and property. Retail is also an area of expertise, while the built environment team handles environment as well as licensing and real estate matters. The motor industry team has acted for years for household name clients.
Clarion intends to expand at a measured rate by attracting further high-quality fee earners and substantial clients. Its main objective is to uphold its core values and provide outstanding service.
