What Our Consultants Say

Our team ranges from a solicitor who saw the light and moved from a global Top 10 firm, solicitors who have run their own law firms and those that have had enough of the traditional law firm model and understand there is something better out there.

"Having retired from full time practice after many years of running my own business being a consultant with Woodstock Legal Services gives me the opportunity to use my experience as a commercial property lawyer.

I have been able to retain long-term clients and develop new contacts.

Woodstock provide the back office and support that I need enabling me to operate from home in an environment that is far more relaxed and informal whilst retaining the professional standards that I have always maintained."

Peter Fowler

Property Solicitor

"I became a consultant as a lifestyle choice. Having a new baby, still wanting to pursue a career in law and a husband who is a headteacher, meant that I wanted to try and work in a way which suited my lifestyle (including being a ‘surf widow’ to my husband!). Being able to work around the world, at times which suit me and having the freedom is a blessing and a privilege. I miss my secretarial support on occasions, but do not miss chargeable hours or billing targets.

I set the targets and the rules. How liberating is that in the world of law?!"

Simone Ritchie

Property Litigation Solicitor

"Working for Woodstock has given me the freedom I could only dream of in a conventional law firm.

I can now work in any location, and at any time, to ensure my clients are getting the best possible service, with the confidence that the strict regulation and compliance required of lawyers is taken care of.

Working together with like-minded people has built strong foundations to ensure clients are well taken care of, but at the same time, maintaining a work/life balance."
