Woodstock Legal Services Strengthens Oxford Presence with Two Conveyancing Experts

Carly Jermyn • February 22, 2024

Woodstock Legal Services continues its strategic expansion with the addition of Consultant Licensed Conveyancer Charlotte O'Driscoll and Conveyancing Consultant Claire Cousins. The duo brings significant combined experience to the firm's Oxford team, bolstering its ability to serve clients in Oxford and surrounding areas.


Specialising in all aspects of residential property, both Claire and Charlotte have extensive experience in all aspects of residential conveyancing, from sales and purchases to remortgages and Transfers of Equity. Charlotte O'Driscoll focuses on high-value residential property transactions, leveraging over 20 years of expertise. Claire Cousins, with her 20 years of property law knowledge and history of working alongside Charlotte, adds further depth to this dynamic team. 


"We're delighted to have Charlotte and Claire join our growing presence in Oxford," said Carly Jermyn, CEO at Woodstock Legal Services. 


"Their collective skillset and commitment to exceptional client service are perfectly aligned with Woodstock's approach. This move signals our focus on attracting top talent within the Oxfordshire property sector." 


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. 


Drawn to Woodstock Legal's innovative consultancy model, both Charlotte and Claire value the autonomy and flexibility it offers. "Woodstock's structure allows me to take true ownership of my caseload and provide a customised, responsive approach for each client," says Charlotte O'Driscoll. "The focus on high-value properties lets me delve deep into the detail which is what I enjoy." 


Claire Cousins adds, "The positive, family-oriented atmosphere at Woodstock is refreshing. There's a shared focus on delivering excellence, without the rigidity often found in larger law firms. I appreciate the support I have here, along with the freedom to build relationships directly with my clients." 


Woodstock Legal Services has been on an upward trajectory since its inception in Canford Cliffs, Poole, in 2014. The firm now boasts an impressive team of over 45, attracting top legal talent from regions like Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Yorkshire, London, the Midlands, and Wales. The firm's growth can be attributed to its flexible, consultancy-based approach to legal work and unwavering commitment to client service.
