Yorkshire law firm expands family team

Ramsdens Solicitors has announced a new Partner to its family team advising clients from its Leeds office as the firm continues to invest in its regional expansion. Siobhan Jeffels joins from law firm Clarion, where she worked for five years as Legal Director. With more than two decades of family law experience, she specialises in advising clients across complex and high-net-worth finance cases, often involving business owners and farming families undergoing separation. Siobhan is a trained in Collaborative Law and also an active member of Resolution, the national body of family lawyers which promotes a non-confrontational approach to family law issues, and sits on the organisation’s North, East and West Yorkshire committee as Treasurer.

Commenting on her appointment, Siobhan said “It’s a great opportunity to join Ramsdens, which has an impressive regional reputation and has achieved significant recognition over the years for providing outstanding client outcomes across the family team and wider practices.” She added “I’m looking forward to collaborating with colleagues who combine leading expertise with a close, personal touch, which is essential for the complex, sensitive cases the team handles.”

Welcoming Siobhan, Sarah Ward, Head of Family Law at Ramsdens, said “Having Siobhan onboard is a great addition not only to the family team, but also to the wider firm as we look to maintain regional growth momentum in Leeds and York. Her collaborative approach and impressive track record advising business owners and agricultural families further strengthen our offering in handling complex separation cases.” She continued “It will also be a great asset as we enhance our client offering as a full-service law firm, ensuring that clients benefit from a single, trusted legal firm for both private and commercial matters.”
