We asked the 40+ team to see how much, what and where we all support and use our local community.

Winston Solicitors supporting our local community

Fun facts and interesting stats* that surfaced following a staff questionnaire. The Winston Solicitors head office is located on Street Lane in Roundhay, which is a busy hub with a vibrant community.

This is what we uncovered about the Winston Solicitors team:

There are 20 pets between us and a few dogs have been known to visit the office!
From 1 years upwards, we have 45 children who go to 12 different local schools. We are fortunate to provide flexible working for families including accommodating sports day, school plays and the important transition moments.
A good work life balance is encouraged which shows with our 55 different hobbies that range from swimming to netball and chess to amateur dramatics! Clearly we’re an active bunch who like a touch of competition.
When asked about which charities we all support and the number was staggering as the team are involved with over 120 different charities which translates to having personally given over £30,000 to those charities.
We volunteer in over 25 different ways from marshalling at Park Runs to holding positions on charity committee’s plus helping at school PTA’s and being a brownie leader.

Client feedback

I am very pleased with the service I received from Winstons, this is the second time I have dealt with them for conveyancing services and on both occasions Leasa was incredibly thorough and reassured me every step of the way. When other parties failed to deliver, Leasa ensured things were chased up and delivered/received with accuracy. I would highly recommend and will be sure to use Winston's again for any future property purchases

Would highly recommend Winston's.Both Leasa and Julie were extremely professional and we recieved regular email and direct call updates.In the middle of an extremely challenging chain, they went above and beyond and became intermediary's liasing with everyone else in order to get the conveyancing completed on time.Thanks again for a great service.Regards

My conveyancer Samantha and her associate Michelle kept me informed of the progress of my sale throughout the transaction. It was of benefit to me that the Winston office was local with plenty of parking. I would recommend them for any conveyancing

Winston’s acted for us with our house sale and onward purchase. They have been excellent from start to finish. Leasa is extremely quick to respond to emails and more than happy to answer any questions. The online system is very efficient and helps keep you up to date with progress of the sale/purchase. Leasa and her team made the whole process so much less stressful than it could’ve been and we can’t thank them enough. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Teresa and Judith assisted with my recent divorce and i cannot rate them highly enough, i was talked through every aspect and everything was explained in full and i was kept fully updated and imformed of everything that i needed to do and when it was required for. Their patience when i was working away and understanding was especially appreciated.Once that was all complete Amanda and Samantha and the convayensing team sorted the transfer of the house and the paperwork associated with that.I would highly recommend them and thier company for any legal issues you have and would use thier services again without hesitation.
