Woodstock Legal Services Expands Nationwide Conveyancing Expertise with Four Strategic Hires

Carly Jermyn • April 30, 2024

Woodstock Legal Services continues the expansion of its high-value property team with the addition of four experienced conveyancing lawyers.


These new team members bring decades of combined expertise as Woodstock attracts established legal professionals seeking its innovative consultancy model.


Aruni Ahangama, a Consultant Conveyancer with over 16 years of experience, further expands Woodstock's reach in the London market. Her specialisation in complex, high-value property transactions allows her to provide personalised guidance and ensure seamless outcomes for London clients.


Commenting on joining Woodstock, Aruni said:


"From the outside, Woodstock has such a family-oriented atmosphere. Now that I have joined, I can see that it truly does. I appreciate the attitude, the environment, and the tremendous support from colleagues who put the client at the heart of every transaction."


Woodstock also welcomes Maria Schultz, a Consultant Licensed Conveyancer specialising in the Shropshire property market. Maria brings over 20 years of specialised residential conveyancing experience to the practice, further strengthening its expertise in the region.


Tracey Parsons joins Woodstock as a Consultant Chartered Legal Executive based in Bournemouth. With over 16 years in the field, Tracey is known for her efficiency, "no-nonsense" approach, and consistently excellent client service.


Melanie Townsend, a Consultant Conveyancing Solicitor qualified since 1998 completes the quartet of appointments, adding significantly to the firm's depth of experience. Her expertise covers all areas of residential conveyancing throughout the Cotswolds region positioning Woodstock to seamlessly guide clients through complex, high-value transactions.


All conveyancers provide specialist advice for residential and investment property transactions. This includes expertise in freehold/leasehold, buy-to-let, retirement properties, unregistered properties, transfers of equity, equity release, re-mortgages, first registrations, and adverse possessions.


Carly Jermyn, CEO of Woodstock Legal Services said:


"We're thrilled to welcome these exceptional conveyancers to Woodstock Legal Services. Their expertise strengthens our residential property team as we see a growing trend of professionals

leaving the traditional law firm model. I believe conveyancing has reached a tipping point. Lawyers are prioritising quality of service by opting for lower case volumes, reducing stress and allowing them to give each client's matter the attentive, proactive focus it deserves. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved."


Woodstock Legal Services has been on an upward trajectory since its inception in Canford Cliffs, Poole, in 2014. The firm now has an impressive team of over 50, attracting top legal talent from regions like Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Wiltshire, Kent, Yorkshire, London, the Midlands, and Wales.


In a year that marks Woodstock’s 10th anniversary, 2024 continues to see further expansion across the regions as more lawyers leave traditional law firms and turn to the more modern consultancy-based approach to offering quality legal services to clients.
