Huddersfield-based law firm Ramsdens has seen its private wealth and succession team named as the Probate Provider of the Year North & Midlands at this year’s British Wills and Probate Awards.

Since launching in 2018, the awards have become the largest and most renowned of their kind celebrating will writing and private client teams across England and Wales.

Ramsdens’ 41-strong private wealth and succession team were also recognised by the judges for delivering real benefits to clients as well as improving efficiencies and reducing costs.

The knowledgeable team, which includes six partners, offers a full range of private client services, covering all aspects of probate, wills, trusts and Power of Attorney.

Chris Reynolds, head of Ramsdens’ private wealth and succession practice, said: “Having become known in Yorkshire and beyond for our technical skills in this complex area of law, it is really rewarding to be recognised with this national award.

“Dealing with issues around inheritance can be difficult and our expert and friendly lawyers do all they can to make the legal process as easy to understand and as stress-free as possible for our clients.

“Well done to all of the team for their commitment, empathy and talent, which have made us a stand-out practice across the UK.”

Ramsdens’ managing partner Paul Joyce said: “While we’re proud of the work we do and the positive feedback we receive from clients, it’s always extremely gratifying to be publicly recognised as being one of the best firms in the UK.

“With our private wealth services practice continuing to establish its reputation nationally, I’d like to congratulate the team for achieving this prestigious award.”

Ramsdens Solicitors has 11 offices throughout Yorkshire including Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Edgerton and Slaithwaite. The multi-award-winning law firm has 43 partners leading the 230-strong team.
