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

Winston Solicitors supporting the 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:

  1. There are 20 pets between us and a few dogs have been known to visit the office!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

*All the facts are based on anonymised staff data.

Client feedback

I was recommended James Urquhart-Burton by a legal friend to support with my husband's CHC funding and I felt very supported straight away from my first email and subsequent conversations. James is very approachable, down to earth and knowledgable. I was in very good hands and we were eventually awarded full CHC funding with James ensuring that all aspects were fully covered right down to the fine details, securing the right outcome for our family. I would highly recommend James & the team at Winstons Solicitors to any family wanting support with navigating the complicated pathway of CHC funding.

Winston's location is easy for me to get to & the off-road parking is much appreciated. Ms Emily Spencer handled the matter of my Will. Emily was professional, courteous and offered much appropriate advice. Overall, a somewhat sombre matter was dealt with to my full satisfaction.

I had an excellent experience with Winston Solicitors and highly recommend them. A huge thank you to Olivia Cooke and Amanda Lester for their exceptional service. They were incredibly responsive, never kept me waiting, and took the time to explain every small detail clearly. Professional, efficient, and thoroughly reliable! I couldn’t have asked for better support!
