Clarion—Joanna Dodd & Deborah Warren

Firm strengthens employment team with double partner promotion

Clarion has promoted Joanna Dodd and Deborah Warren to partner in its employment team, marking a key milestone in the firm’s latest round of senior appointments. Both lawyers started their careers at Clarion as trainees and have played a vital role in shaping the team’s strategy and client relationships. ‘I’m delighted to see Joanna and Deborah step into their new roles as partners,’ says joint managing partner Roger Hutton.

In the property litigation team, Kate Joss has been promoted to legal director, recognised for her leadership in high-value and complex cases. The firm has also announced eight senior associate promotions across multiple practice areas, further strengthening its expertise in private wealth, restructuring, regulatory, and dispute resolution.

Hutton highlights the significance of these promotions, stating, ‘Each of these lawyers has demonstrated outstanding expertise and commitment to excellence, enhancing our client service and firm culture.’
