A law firm with offices in Kirklees has promoted two of its associates to partnership level.
Laura Smith is a commercial property lawyer based in the Wakefield office of Ramsdens Solicitors while Veronica Mullins is a private client lawyer based in the firm’s Mirfield office.
The latest promotions take the number of partners to 20 – with half of them female.
Paul Joyce, managing partner, said: ‘We reviewed our client requirements and growth opportunities and have decided to promote Laura and Veronica to the partnership.
“They have each made impressive contributions to the firm in their respective practice areas and are a welcome addition to the partnership.
“I’m also proud that we continue to have one of the highest proportions of female partners amongst local law firms.”
Ms Smith joined Ramsdens in 2008 having trained in a niche commercial firm in London and joined a Manchester firm on qualification. She said: “I am delighted to join the partnership at such an exciting time for the firm. Ramsdens is leading the way for firms of its size in Yorkshire and I am delighted to be driving the success of our new Wakefield office.”
Ms Mullins, who joined Ramsdens as part of the Rice Jones merger in Halifax in 2009. said: “‘I am delighted to have been promoted to partner and look forward to bringing my experience to my new role to continue to drive Ramsdens as the leading legal firm in West Yorkshire.”
Ramsdens has offices in Huddersfield town centre, Edgerton, Dewsbury, Elland, Holmfirth, Mirfield, Slaithwaite, Halifax and Wakefield.
