Winston Solicitors, a well-established legal firm from Leeds, is embarking on a significant growth phase with strategic new hires and an acquisition that underscores its forward-looking vision. The firm has made key appointments to strengthen its family and personal injury law departments.
The family law team is bolstered by the arrival of Hannah Craven, formerly of Silk Family Law. With her expertise, Hannah will play a crucial role as an associate solicitor and continues her involvement as the secretary for the West & North Yorkshire Resolution committee. Her addition marks a period of impressive development for the department, recognised by Legal 500 for its prowess.
Winston Solicitors has strategically acquired WildWood Legal, a specialised personal injury firm from Harrogate. This acquisition significantly enhances the personal injury department’s capacity, bringing in Rogan Ashton as a senior personal injury solicitor and head of the department. Rogan’s experience aligns with Winston’s commitment to exceptional legal service.
Joining him is Stephen Hattersley, who will act as a consultant within the department. Stephen has a longstanding reputation, having recovered substantial compensation amounts for clients over his 25-year career, demonstrating the depth of expertise that Winston Solicitors now commands.
Jonathan Winston, the managing partner, expressed his enthusiasm about these changes, stating, “I am delighted to welcome Hannah, Rogan, and Stephen to our team. With each new hire, we are confident in continuing to deliver exemplary customer service alongside achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.” His statement reflects the firm’s dedication to excellence and forward-thinking approach.
Winston Solicitors’ strategic hiring and acquisition efforts position them strongly for future growth in their legal offerings.
