A LAW firm with offices in Kirklees is expanding its presence across West Yorkshire.

Ramsdens will open a new office – its ninth – in the heart of Wakefield’s legal quarter later this month.

It already has offices at Ramsden Street in Huddersfield town centre and at Edgerton, Dewsbury, Mirfield, Slaithwaite, Holmfirth, Elland, and Halifax.

Managing partner Paul Joyce said: “This is the next stage in our ongoing expansion programme and is a natural progression for the firm in our aim to provide specialist legal services to people across the whole region.

“An office in Wakefield has been on our radar for some time now and this new office will strengthen our presence across West Yorkshire. In the current economic climate, we feel it is important to continue to grow and invest in the future.”

Ramsdens will offer a wide range of legal services from the new Wakefield office, including family law, private client, dispute resolution, employment, commercial property and residential conveyancing. It will also look to develop and provide additional services.

Jeremy Cook, partner at the new office, said: “This is an exciting time for the firm as we expand further across the region.

“Our new office marks the next chapter in Ramsdens success story.

“The new office is a fabulous environment and a great place to work and do business from.”

The Wakefield team will attend the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce’s #MYnetworkWKF meetings, which are held from 12.30pm on the second Friday of every month at the Priory Bar. Ramsdens also takes part in the #MYnetworkHUD meetings at 9am on the third Wednesday of each month at The Media Centre in Huddersfield.
