    Excellent service

    We are extremely grateful to the whole Woodfines team for their help and support throughout the process of buying our new house. It wasn’t an easy journey, and there were certainly some stressful moments along the way, but with the support and guidance of Woodfines, we made it through. The legal side of the process was particularly challenging and stressful, but the team were always professional, helpful, responsive, and supportive whenever we needed them. We strongly recommend Woodfines!!!

    Nic Dino and his team once again did a fantastic job for the sale of my house. This was probably my 3rd house sale/buy through Nic in the last 10 years. Nic guided me through each step, protected my interests and pushed back unacceptable requests from the Buyer's solicitor. and patiently explained risks for any agreement i would like to make. I am very happy with the services from Woodfines Cambridge. I'd give more than 5 stars review to Nic Dino.

    Nicola and everyone I dealt with at Woodfines were amazing. It was third time lucky with my house sale in end after two failed process due to issues on buyers side. Nicola pulled out all the stops to ensure my house closed the day before my wedding which was a tight deadline. Throughout this stressful process Nicola was always really responsive, friendly and helpful. No conveyancer I have used in the past has ever been this responsive so am so happy I was lucky in finding Woodfines and Nicola. Thanks so much Nicola!

      Professional, Approachable and Outstanding experience

      Having previously worked with Woodfines LLP to set up Terms of Business; it was a natural choice to work with them again to help with a commercial dispute that I needed assistance with. I worked with Gin Grossi and from initial call, to resolving the issue, the experience was outstanding - concise, friendly, professional and seamless. Dealing with any legal matter is daunting, but Gin made me feel really confident and comfortable; she provided sound advice and support, explained everything clearly, and the communication was superb throughout. I can't recommend Gin and Woodfines highly enough and am extremely grateful for all the help I received - Thank you!

      Help with settlement agreement

      I got in touch with Natasha Moore at Woodfines for legal advice and support with a settlement agreement, and I’m genuinely very grateful for the way she handled everything from start to finish. She was warm, professional and very reassuring, and she took the time to explain the agreement clearly and thoroughly so I fully understood the terms and implications before proceeding. Natasha was also exceptionally quick and efficient in dealing with the paperwork, while still being meticulous and thorough in her advice. Her genuine care and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful situation feel much easier to manage. I would wholeheartedly recommend Natasha to anyone needing support with any employment law-related matters. Thank you, Natasha.

      should have written this review years ago. I have worked with Michael Roche and Woodfines for more than nine years, and throughout that time Michael has been nothing short of exceptional. Most recently, he very kindly obtained some important historic ledgers for me incredibly quickly. This was hugely helpful and once again demonstrated the level of care, responsiveness and personal commitment he brings to his clients. As a property developer, I regularly deal with transactions and legal matters where clear advice, commercial understanding and absolute confidence in the solicitor acting for you are essential. Michael has consistently given me that confidence. He is extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic, approachable and always takes the time to understand both the legal position and the commercial realities behind it. Over the years, Michael and the wider team at Woodfines have provided an outstanding service and have always made me feel that my matters genuinely matter to them. That consistency over such a long period is rare and deserves recognition. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. Anyone looking for an exceptional commercial property lawyer — and a solicitor they can trust completely — would be in extremely safe hands with him. A very well-deserved five stars for both Michael and Woodfines.
