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:

  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 cannot speak for Winston Solicitors as a whole, but I can confidently recommend Leasa Foster, who we’ve used twice now for moving house. On both occasions she has been outstanding. Without her, I’m certain the chain would have fallen into disarray, and completion would have been delayed by at least a month or two.Leasa took control, coordinating solicitors both above and below us in the chain to ensure paperwork was completed on time. In fact, some of the documents that others were only just starting, she had already handled months in advance.Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the service from Leasa, Julie, and the team at Winston Solicitors. I’ll have no hesitation using them again—unless Leasa moves firms!

We’ve used Winston Solicitors for three property transactions now, and they have been outstanding every time. Sidraa and Tom always go above and beyond – communication is clear, there are never any delays from their side, and the whole process is handled smoothly from start to finish. We’ve even recommended them to friends, who were equally impressed. I always get asked by Estate Agents to use their solicitors but always politely decline because of the service Sidraa and her team offer.

Winston solicitor's was chosen by us to handle the conveyancing for our house sale and purchase. We were appointed Sam as our solicitor and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Sam went above and beyond to assist me with my enquiries, demonstrating an impressive depth of knowledge. Our sellers solicitors could be quite problematic at times but Sam worked hard to ensure that obstacles were handled promptly, and that we were kept up to date with any progress.What stood out for me was Sam's genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Her friendly demeanor and positive attitude created a welcoming atmosphere making me feel valued as a customer. In conclusion Sam exemplifies the epitome of customer service. Her professionalism, expertise, attention to detail and genuine care for the customer deserves recognition. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone seeking an exceptional service. Thank you for your outstanding support and dedication.

We’ve just completed a sale and purchase with Winston Solicitors and honestly couldn’t be more impressed with the service. Leasa, Julie and the team were fantastic from start to finish - thorough and very efficient, even when things were stressful and complex in our chain. Communication was clear and prompt throughout, and we always felt reassured that they were on top of every detail.It was our first time buying and selling which was quite a stressful process but we felt in very safe hands with Winstons and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you!
