Personal injury & private client promotions at the Yorkshire firm

Ramsdens Solicitors, which has 11 offices throughout Yorkshire, has announced two associate promotions.

Ian Miles has been promoted to senior associate in the clinical negligence and personal injury team, and Kirsty Dunn has been promoted to associate in the firm’s private client practice.

Based at Ramsdens’ Leeds office, Ian joined Ramsdens in 2022 as a litigation executive. With 20 years’ experience, he handles complex injury claims, including brain injury.

Ian’s specialisms cover employers’ liability, occupiers’ liability and road traffic accident claims, as well as claims involving clinical negligence against medical and healthcare providers.

Kirsty, a chartered legal executive and Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) probate practitioner, joined Ramsdens in 2021, having predominately worked in litigation before specialising in wills, lasting powers of attorney and the administration of estates.

She is now based at the firm’s Edgerton office. She advises on the severance of jointly owned properties to enable families to put in place protection from care fees when making a will.

Paul Joyce, managing partner of Ramsdens, said: ‘It’s extremely satisfying to see talented members of the team like Ian and Kirsty developing their legal skills with us. Both are technically adept lawyers who consistently put their clients first and deliver outstanding service in their respective niche areas of the law.

‘We are pleased to celebrate these promotions with Ian and Kirsty as we pride ourselves on providing a supportive, nurturing environment where up-and-coming lawyers can flourish with the support of more senior colleagues.’
