Welcoming Monika Volsing to Her New Role as Head of Private Client

We are thrilled to announce another milestone here at Winston Solicitors: the promotion of Monika Volsing to the position of Head of Private Client. As Monika takes the helm of the department, we embark on an exciting journey of growth, innovation, and unparalleled client service.

A Career in Marketing Leads to a Passion for Law

From her beginnings as a dedicated Private Client solicitor within our firm, Monika has consistently demonstrated an extraordinary depth of legal expertise and a passion for client advocacy.  

Monika originally studied Psychology and Media at The University of Leeds before retraining in law. Initially, she worked in personal injury and employment law, before specialising in Private Client.  

We asked her how her career path had changed and why she chose to specialise in Private Client work after retraining as a solicitor:

After studying for a psychology degree and then seven years working in the marketing industry across the public, private and third sector, a casual conversation with a friend, who was a partner at a law firm, made me re-evaluate my skills and consider the law as a career. Which my mother was over the moon about, as she was a lawyer in Poland before she moved here!

I went to law school and then started my legal career in personal injury. But it was when I did my training contract, and had six months in the Private Client Team at the firm where I trained, that I knew this was the area of law I wanted to be in. What inspires me about private client law is helping people who have life-changing decisions to make. Some of whom are elderly and vulnerable. I’m not exaggerating when I say the advice and work that we do really can protect them. I also find it very interesting learning about the history of people’s lives and then figuring out what we can do to assist them.    

Prior to joining Winston Solicitors, Monika worked for Morrish Solicitors and Stonegate Legal and has over ten years’ experience in the legal field. Her journey from Private Client solicitor at Winston Solicitors to head of the team is a testament to her demonstrated expertise and dedication.

Onwards and Upwards for the Private Client Team

Monika’s ability to understand and address the needs of each client, most of whom are older individuals and often in vulnerable circumstances. continues to be a real asset to the team. She has forged enduring relationships built on trust, integrity, and a shared commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes. One of the core values that Winston Solicitors prides itself on is offering support and advice to clients in a way that isn’t simply trying to sell them a service at any cost. That’s a large part of why Monika is such a good fit; she has genuine respect and empathy for her clients.

In her new role of heading up the Private Client Team, Monika brings a fresh perspective and strategic vision in elevating our client experience. Her promotion represents more than just a career milestone; it signifies our firm's commitment to excellence, leadership, and client-centric service. With her at the helm, we are confident that our Private Client team will continue to thrive and exceed expectations.
