Winston Solicitors welcomed the opportunity to work with Cardinal Heenan High School, in Leeds 6, during a project involving imagination, creativity and business flair.

A ‘Dragon’s Den’ style forum was set up with the Year 10’s working on their projects in five teams of 16. Each team had two hours come up with a business idea with a prototype, work out costings and prepare their presentation. Spokespersons for each team presented their idea to a panel of judges who included Miles Mount from LEAP, Christine Marsden from Education Leeds and from Winston Solicitors Jonathan Winston and Francis O’Neill.

Having listened to all the business ideas the panel then chose the most worthy winner.

“I was looking for a team that presented an interesting plan, but I also wanted to see enthusiasm and belief in themselves.” said Jonathan Winston. “It was great fun and hopefully the teams were able to work on a project that motivated them and enabled them to be work as part of a team.”

Jonathan and Francis from Winston Solicitors then presented personal calculators to each member of the winning team.

Client feedback

I could not recommend highly enough James at Winston’s Solicitors. He has been professional, understanding and supportive throughout. Excellent communication, which was always timely and clear. The continuing health care funding process is extremely complicated to navigate alone but with James’ knowledge and support it took a great deal of stress out of it. Thank you!

I had a lot of trouble with purchasing a house due to external reasons. Through the entire timeline Olivia was always keeping me updated, and responded fast to emails, something you don't get very often from solicitors! She did her best to meet deadlines and I genuinely felt they cared about the sale for me

We had a great experience with Leasa, who acted for us during our property purchase. She was quick, efficient, professional, and kept everything moving smoothly. We really appreciated her support throughout the process and would highly recommend her services.

Second time using Olivia at Winston Solicitors and once again she delivered. Impeccable service and completed my remortgage within the desired timeframe. Efficient, straightforward and simple.

Cannot recommend highly enough. The stress was taken out of everything. No brainer. No fee's to outlay upfront. No win no fee does exactly what it says. Was kept informed throughout and both Debbie and Amanda who looked after my case were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Have no hesitation in recommending.

We are first time buyers and were new to the process of buying a house but our solicitor, Leasa, explained everything clearly to us and was the best solicitor we could wish for in this situation: She was super efficient, thorough, and we had great communication throughout, which was extremely useful. Things got done fast and to a high standard, and Leasa was able to spot things the seller's solicitor wasn't. Everything was super quick and within the timeline we set, so we can highly recommend this firm and have done so to friends who are also buying a house, five stars!

Conveyancing process only took a couple of months, always informed, never had to chase anything up.
