Wollens Excellent Service

I have partnered commercially with Wollens through my role at Yeovil Town Football Club for the past year and have worked closely with Marco Floreale during that time. It has been a fantastic experience both personally with Marco and more broadly with Wollens as a firm. Marco is personable, approachable and highly professional, and the wider Wollens team reflects those same qualities. The firm has an impressive presence across the South West and is exceptionally well connected within the regional business community. Wollens describe their offering as “full spectrum law”, and in my experience that is an accurate description. What stands out, however, is the depth and practicality of their service. Their advice is not just technically strong but focused on real-world application and outcomes. They also bring what I would describe as “legal plus” — going beyond the traditional remit of legal representation by providing valuable connections, commercial insight, and practical guidance that genuinely helps move projects forward. It has been a pleasure working with Marco and the team, and I would highly recommend Wollens to anyone looking for a proactive and commercially minded legal partner.

Outstanding Service - highly recommend

​Excellent service from start to finish on the sale of my business. My solicitor, Emma Reed, went above and beyond at every stage — she was attentive, responsive, and there at every turn, ensuring the transaction completed smoothly and on time. She was professional, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend Emma Reed to guide you calmly and clearly through your business sale.

Sarah Rowles has been absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase, and I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. We were kept informed at every step of the way, and any emails or queries we had were always responded to promptly. Sarah was incredibly efficient, professional and understanding throughout the whole process, and she was always happy to answer any questions we had. We are so grateful for all her help and support in making our first house purchase as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you Sarah for such an excellent service!

Preparation of our wills and LPAs was initially daunting. However, Charlotte McGregor, Partner at Wollens in Exeter, made the entire process incredibly straightforward from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, and attention to detail have been exceptional, and she ensured everything was completed promptly and with minimal fuss. We couldn’t have asked for a better service and would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte and the team at Wollens.

I and my father before me have used Wollens for many years and I continue to use their services because I know from past experience that I could not find a better firm. More recently Wollens have acted for me to sell the family business. A very long haul which was made bearable by Hebe who has been amazing to work with, very patient with me and a superb solicitor. Thank you Hebe, thank you Wollens.

Megan made buying our first home as seamless and stress-free as possible! She worked tirelessly to ensure that the process moved along quickly and constantly kept us updated throughout with clear communication. We highly recommend anyone looking to move house to get in touch with Megan and Wollens. Our offer being accepted through to getting our keys took less than 2 months, which was all down to the hard work put in by our lovely solicitor.
