Phoenix Dance Theatre is delighted to announce a new partnership with Clarion Solicitors. The two Leeds-based companies have established a three-year agreement, during which time Clarion Solicitors will be Phoenix’s principal sponsor. The sponsorship will aid Phoenix’s production of new works for UK touring, as well as the company’s acclaimed education and outreach activities.

Clive Lawrence, partner at Clarion Solicitors, said “We are delighted to be able to offer real support to an outstanding Leeds-based arts company, and to be associated with a group of people who are as committed to innovation and excellence as we are ourselves.”

Clarion Solicitors is the new name for one of the outstanding legal practices in Leeds, representing a unique project among contemporary law firms. It emerged as a complete all-round legal practice of over a hundred people following the separation of the Leeds and Harrogate firms known as McCormicks.

Mel Avis, Phoenix Dance Theatre’s Business Director said “This new partnership comes at a time of new beginnings for both companies, and is an excellent time to launch an association that we hope will develop and strengthen over the coming years into a long-term relationship.”

The agreement follows a developing relationship over the previous three years, in which Clarion Solicitors have acted as Media Lawyers to Phoenix Dance Theatre. Staff and guests of the Solicitors also attended performances of Phoenix’s award-winning mixed bill programmes at West Yorkshire Playhouse.
