The late September sunshine created an atmospheric setting for delegates to hear employment barrister from York Chambers, Bruce Frew, highlight the key changes introduced by the new Equality Act.

We recently hosted the seminar in the grounds of our office where it was an opportunity for businesses to have the changes explained, and therefore help them understand how the legislation with affect them, and their employees.

A lively Q&A session allowed the delegates to talk through the practical implications of the Act in the workplace. In this session there was a discussion of specific situations of particular relevance to the participants. Feedback from all who attended was extremely positive and attendees left feeling more confident about how to deal with the range of employment issues that will have a major impact on many businesses.

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.

Absolutely exceptional service from start to finish. I will definitely be recommending you to others. Michelle was fantastic and eased me through the whole process. I had so many questions as a first time buyer, Michelle answered them all and responded quickly every time. Very happy - August 2025

We are greatful for Sam's and her team work. We don't believe buying or selling a house could be made any easier. Thank you! - August 2025

When Mum needed the system most that she had been paying into all her life she was failed by countless people and departments, assessments not completed, lost files, appointments not kept, delay after delay and on. I had a gut feeling that procedures weren't being followed and began my quest for the truth in her memory. I found James at 'Winston Solicitors' who helped us take on the system and prove that Mum was indeed entitled to CHC Funding. Throughout the case he was relentless in his pursuit to seek out the truth and hold those accountable who failed Mum. He gave us regular updates and discussed every step with us along the way, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who has found themselves in this dreadful position in traumatic times with their loved ones. - August 2025
