Yorkshire law firm Ramsdens has appointed Simon Lucas as a partner in its dispute resolution team.

Simon joins from Schofield Sweeney, bringing almost 20 years’ experience in commercial litigation, including shareholder disputes, professional negligence and contractual claims.

He will work across the firm’s York and Leeds offices, supporting clients across a range of sectors.

Simon said: “Ramsdens has established an excellent reputation for providing practical, personal advice to businesses of all sizes. 

“I’m excited to continue working in that tradition as part of its growing dispute resolution team, putting my extensive experience to use working with our clients in the Yorkshire region, across a diverse range of sectors.”

Simon’s appointment comes alongside the recruitment of newly qualified solicitors Alex Tattersall and Courtney Moore, strengthening the team as the firm continues to grow its corporate and commercial offering.
