Appointments: Law firm boosts property team; Multi-service advisory firm recruits Redmayne Bentley manager; and more

LAW firm Clarion has strengthened its 12-strong commercial property team with the addition of an associate and two paralegals.

Grace Allison joined the firm’s property law team as a paralegal three years ago while undertaking her LPC part time and has now been appointed as an associate following the completion of her training.  After graduating from Leeds University with a BA in European Union Studies with Law, she worked part time in the Citizens Advice Bureau and completed her GDL at BPP Law School in Leeds before going on to study for her LPC at College of Law, Manchester.

Sara Ahmed joins Clarion as a paralegal having graduated from University of Huddersfield with Law (Exempting) Master of Law and Practice (MLP).   Over the last two years, she has gained experience as a remortgage legal assistant, a legal assistant and a conveyancing assistant.

Lucinda Ross also takes on the role of paralegal after completing her MLP from University of Huddersfield and working as a residential conveyancing legal assistant and a commercial property legal assistant.

Martin Grange, partner and head of Clarion’s property practice, said: “After a strong year, the commercial property landscape remains buoyant and we are continuing to build the practice as demand for our services grows.

“Having recently appointed a third partner to the property team, it is vital that we also continue to attract and nurture the brightest young talent – it’s great to see Grace qualifying into the team and we’re delighted to welcome Sara and Lucinda.”
