Supporting International Women's Day 2018

From ages 19 to 60+ our female strong team hold positions in every department at Winston Solicitors. Each person is valued and treated as an equal, regardless of age or gender.

But what were our hopes and dreams at 18? Did we all know we would be working in the legal sector?

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2018, we once again asked our team something to get us thinking:

What advice or message would you like to give your 18 year old self?

Camilla “Go and have a career in the theatre industry!”

Amanda “Be more adventurous in life and less bothered about the little insignificant things.”

Pam “Go for it – don’t be put off by negative opinions of other people”

Leonie “Have confidence in your abilities”

Aisha “enjoy being 18 and to take a gap year before uni”

Lynn “believe in yourself don’t let someone else tell you what you are capable of.”

Lakhvinder “Take time to distress at the end of the day”

Leasa “Keep working hard and you will achieve your goals. You are in control of your own destiny so see all obstacles as a challenge.”

Anna “Learn to make good choices - as Nelson Mandela said, make choices that reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

Interestingly there is a similar message we would like to give our 18 year old selves. Whatever stage you find yourself at, the message is clear - "believe you in your abilities and keep trying to achieve your goals"

Many of my family members have used Winstons Solicitors for their conyancing, over many years. I too have now used them and they did not disappoint. Samantha Robertson-Strong and Paulo Dos Santos were my main persons of contact. They were highly professional and very thorough, whilst maintaining an air of friendliness and approachability throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My son recently purchased a property. I had used Winston Solicitors for many years and had no hesitation in recommending them to him. Their service is outstanding; very professional yet friendly and approachable. Samantha is awesome. She always does a thorough job. Paulo, her assistant, has been an absolute pleasure to deal with as well. So a huge thumbs up and many thanks all around! - October 2025

This was a stressful (and as it was a property purchase caused by divorce), very emotional. Samantha and Paulo were always very kind and patient. - October 2025

I recently used Winston Solicitors for the purchase of my first home and was extremely impressed with the service. My solicitor, Leasa, along with her assistant, Julie, were outstanding throughout the process—thorough, accommodating, and always patient in explaining each step clearly. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, always going above and beyond to support me. I truly appreciated their professionalism and personal approach, and I would not hesitate to recommend Winston Solicitors to anyone - I cannot thank you all enough. - September 2025
