Woodstock Legal Services Shortlisted for Business Growth Award at Modern Law Awards 2025

Kirsty Jocham • January 30, 2025

Woodstock Legal Services is proud to announce its shortlisting for the Business Growth Award at the Modern Law Awards 2025. This recognition celebrates not only our remarkable achievements over the past year but also our commitment to redefining what a modern law firm can be. 


A Fresh Approach to Law

Founded with a mission to do things differently, Woodstock Legal Services has grown from a vision shared around a kitchen table into a thriving law firm. At the heart of our success is “a fresh approach to law” – delivering tailored, actionable legal advice in plain English, without jargon. 


Transformational Growth Over the Last Year

The past 12 months have been nothing short of transformational. During this time, we’ve experienced:


  • A significant increase in new matters opened.
  • A substantial rise in revenue.
  • Remarkable growth in our team size.


This growth is not just about numbers. It reflects our focus on excelling rather than simply expanding, remaining true to our values, and ensuring every client benefits from our personal, human approach.


The Success of Our Innovative Consultancy Model

Our innovative consultancy model has been a key driver of success. Woodstock Legal Services provides a home for high-quality lawyers, enabling them to deliver exceptional client service without the constraints of a traditional law firm structure. By creating a supportive, flexible environment, we allow our team the time and space to deliver expert advice and build strong client relationships. 


Industry-Leading Expertise

The landlord and tenant team, led by Anna Hughes, has been a standout success. Recognised as leaders in the field, the team has secured large-scale contracts and won the Best Landlord Legal Services Provider award at the National LIS Awards for the third consecutive year. Beyond this, we’ve strengthened our expertise in employment law, family law, dispute resolution, commercial and contract law, and private client services while continuing to lead in residential   and commercial property


Committed to Our Community

This shortlisting recognises not just the progress we’ve made but the way we’ve achieved it. Our thoughtful, deliberate growth strategy is built on providing exceptional client service, creating a supportive team environment, and giving back to the communities we serve. From raising funds for YMCA Bournemouth’s Big Sleep to hosting local events like the Canford Cliffs Halloween Trick or Treat, we’ve made a positive impact both in and beyond the legal sector. 


A Note from Our CEO

Carly Jermyn, CEO of Woodstock Legal Services, shared her thoughts on the recognition:


"This shortlisting is a milestone for Woodstock Legal Services. It reflects the hard work of our team and the trust our clients place in us. Our consultancy model allows us to provide top-notch services while creating a home for talented lawyers. We’re proud to lead the way in redefining what a law firm can be.” 


Celebrating Innovation in the Legal Sector

The Modern Law Awards celebrate the pioneers shaping the future of the legal sector. This shortlisting reinforces Woodstock Legal Services’ position as a firm committed to responsible, sustainable, and innovative growth.


We look forward to the awards ceremony and extend our congratulations to all the other finalists!
