Ramsdens appoints York property partner

Yorkshire-based law firm Ramsdens has strengthened its York office with the appointment of experienced residential property lawyer Jessica Duffy as a partner.

Jessica joins Ramsdens from her role as head of legal at Doncaster-based property developer Strata Homes, having previously served as head of conveyancing at another York-based law firm.

She brings eighteen years of legal experience across Yorkshire and has extensive knowledge of the York conveyancing market. 

Jessica’s expertise covers a broad range of residential property matters, including sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and rights of way.

She said: “The residential property team at Ramsdens has an established excellent reputation for having personable, approachable lawyers committed to providing clear, practical advice. 

“I’m very pleased to join such a renowned team to grow our conveyancing and residential practice to benefit clients throughout York and North Yorkshire.”     

Ramsdens opened its York office in 2018 following the acquisition of Burn and Co and has continued to expand the team to support growing client demand. 

The York office forms part of the firm’s wider network of eleven offices across Yorkshire.

Lindsey Frith, joint chief executive of Ramsdens, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Jessica to our team in York. 

“By combining Jessica’s local knowledge and visibility with a strong legal background, we can expand and enhance our residential property offering in the city and ensure continued momentum as we expand our legal offering throughout North and East Yorkshire. 

“Jessica’s in-house experience working with a housebuilder will also be particularly valuable in advising clients throughout newbuild transactions.”
