A LAW firm in Huddersfield has landed a top trophy.
Ramsdens Solicitors was named Firm of the Year in the category for 11 to 30 partners at the Yorkshire Lawyer Awards.
Managing partner Paul Joyce and senior partner John Fryer accepted the award on behalf of the firm.
Mr Joyce said: “Winning Law Firm of the Year puts our regional practice on the map and is a real tribute to the hard work and determination of our entire team across our eight offices throughout Kirklees and Calderdale.
Our firm will continue to focus on delivering value and stellar service to clients – and on attracting and retaining talented and ambitious individuals to help us achieve our goal of making Ramsdens as strong as it can be.”
Mr Joyce has led two mergers in the last three years, firstly in 2009 with Rice Jones and in November last year with Whitfield Hallam Goodall. The firm now has more than 140 staff and 18 partners.
Ramsdens has also been recognised as a “leading firm” in the Legal 500, which recognises excellent practice in seven key areas. The Legal 500 assesses firms on size, resources and also client recommendations in a particular field.
The practice was recognised in the areas of corporate and commercial; commercial litigation; employment; personal injury; family; personal tax, trust and probate; and commercial property.
This year, more than 180,000 in-house counsel and lawyers were surveyed and interviewed. The Legal 500 is an independent guide and firms and individuals are recommended purely on merit.
