Yorkshire’s largest regional law firm, Ramsdens Solicitors, is gearing up for continued expansion as it welcomes applicants for its next generation of legal talent.
The firm, which has 11 offices throughout Yorkshire and employs 312 people, currently offers two routes for lawyers embarking on their legal careers. Both allow trainees to gain hands-on experience working with clients from day-one across a range of practice areas.
The first includes a traditional two-year route for applicants who already hold a legal qualification.
In addition, Ramsdens’ Graduate Legal Apprenticeship allows trainees to contribute to client work while studying for their legal qualification.
Natalie Lang, Partner and Training Principal at Ramsdens Solicitors, said: “At Ramsdens, we’ve a long-standing commitment to developing future legal talent across the region.
“Our trainees play a vital role within the firm and are given real responsibility right from the outset while supported by experienced colleagues who are committed to helping them succeed. Many of our partners, including myself, started their legal careers at Ramsdens, valuing the opportunities to develop personally and professionally.
“We are looking forward to welcoming ambitious and motivated individuals who want to build long-term legal careers with us.”
The announcement follows a period of continued investment by the firm to support its ongoing growth plans throughout 2026.
Lindsey Frith, joint CEO at Ramsdens Solicitors, added: “The strength of our training programme is a significant asset to the firm, and will be essential as we look to continue building momentum throughout the region.
“By recruiting and mentoring applicants with the right skills and talent, we can grow our offering for our clients while building and mainlining the next generation of legal talent.”
Applications close on 31 January 2026, with assessment days taking place in March and interviews later in the spring. Training contracts will commence on 1 September 2026.
