Solicitor Ralph Ross recently retired after 53 years of practice. He began his working life in November 1958 at J Bryan Smith & Co, a firm which was eventually taken over in 1996 by Ian Gillis & Co.

Ralph was on the Duty Solicitor Rota for many years, until he grew tired of being called out in the middle of the night (and sometimes more than once) and concluded that it was “a young man’s game” so decided to come off the rota. ...

It is a sad truth that many children in Leeds will wake up on Christmas morning with not a single present to open. This Christmas we’re supporting the Radio Aire and Magic 828’s Cash for Kids Christmas Appeal. By adding an extra present to our Christmas shopping lists, that extra gift can be distributed to children in Leeds who wouldn’t receive anything.
Joanna Wrigley, a solicitor from our family law department, has encouraged staff to be involved in this worthy cause and said ‘It is now approaching the time of year where families are getting ready to celebrate...

On a designated Thursday in October, staff were invited to ‘Bring a pound to work day’ and succeeded in raising of £36 to send to the charity.
