Leigh and Rachel were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with through a surprisingly tricky leasehold enfranchisement. Would definitely recommend.

We have worked with Qaisar on a number of occasions and cannot recommend him highly enough for the support offered. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field and always goes above and beyond expectations in terms of getting us the right support - often working out of hours! In the legal minefield we have found him to be a reassuring and friendly voice - no question is silly - responses are quick!

Yes, I would recommend Winckworth Sherwood LLP.
Qaisar helped me secure a place at a specialist independent school for my son, who has special needs. We were up against my local county council and faced many hurdles, as they were adamant that my son couldn’t attend his chosen school—the only one that could meet all his needs—due to cost.
Without Qaisar Sheikh’s help and continual support, my son would never have won his place at our chosen school and would most likely never have returned to a school setting.
My son is now thriving and has completely transformed as a person. He is happy, confident, and attends school daily, where he is learning and making new friends.
None of this would have been possible without Qaisar’s legal support, as navigating the SEN legal system is a minefield on your own.
Qaisar helped me understand every step of the process, explaining everything clearly. I would not hesitate to recommend him—my son is living proof that his services are first-class and unbeatable.

Winkworth Sherwood [Qaisar] led a session for our Challenge Partners Special and AP Hub comprising 60 Special settings across the South East and Norfolk. The response from the Headteachers and Senior Leaders in attendance was tremendous.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Qaiser, a solicitor who generously provided pro bono assistance in a complex family law matter concerning child access. From the very beginning, Qaiser demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and an extraordinary level of understanding. He went above and beyond to help, offering both practical advice and emotional support during an incredibly challenging time in my life.
Throughout the process, I often found myself overwhelmed and unable to think clearly. However, Qaiser's calm and logical perspective helped me navigate the legal intricacies with confidence. His dedication and commitment to my case were evident, and I am incredibly grateful for all the hard work he invested.
Thanks to Qaiser's exceptional guidance, I achieved an outcome in court that was far better than I had ever imagined. I am exceptionally happy with the results and cannot express enough gratitude for Qaiser's invaluable support. If you are in need of a solicitor who truly cares and goes the extra mile, I wholeheartedly recommend Qaiser.

From the onset Qaisar worked above and beyond our expectations. He was keen to understand the family dynamics, showing particular interest in what was required for our special needs daughter. He was supportive throughout the educational tribunal preparations and showed persistence and diligence in ensuring reports arrived from other professionals in the correct format for the proceeding. Thank you Qaisar. A Success Story!

Jackie was exceptionally thorough, quick to respond, friendly and really told us 'straight up' what she believed the risks to be and 'why'. It was very complicated and there were many issues to consider. Jackie really helped us go into this with 'EYES WIDE OPEN' on the issues and costs we may face. I really appreciated her balanced views and perspectives and how quickly she managed things. THANK YOU JACKIE!

From the very start of my communication with Theresa, she was beyond supportive and truly helped me every step of the way. Her legal knowledge was fantastic, and the communication was clear.
Logistically there were may aspects to deal with in this case, and not only was Theresa extremely prompt and clear in her support, she also went above and beyond to ensure that I personally felt supported as a school leader.
Theresa's support meant that I did not feel alone in this incident, and also that we could manage it and rectify it quickly together. Which we did.
I felt so grateful to Theresa throughout the correspondence.
She is an asset to your firm.

Mr Sheikh and his team have been tremendously supportive and helpful during our case.
A specialist and high-level of legal knowledge was backed with sensitivity and honesty, providing clear information and explaining options carefully. Communication was timely and easy to understand. It was a great relief to know that we were in the hands of such a caring and effective professional. We felt fully supported throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Sheikh and Winckworth Sherwood to others. Thank you.

As a school, we have been through a very challenge set of circumstances and Qaisar has been very supportive. He has responded in a timely manner, provided advice for lots of different scenarios and I am very grateful for the support that we have received. He has also been proactive, contacting me to see how particular events resolved themselves and sending over articles and different information to support. Thank you

I would very highly recommend Younes Ech-Chadli for all immigration matters. He helped me regularise my immigration status from the start and very professionally handled all issues over the years to their ultimate conclusion. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about complex immigration rules. He is very polite and was always available to answer any queries that I had. I have no hesitation in giving him a 5 star rating. AK

Qaisar of Winckworth Sherwood was recommended to me so I instructed him to help with my son’s SEN tribunal appeal against my local authority. He did a great job for me over the course of 10 months, liaising with the local authority, my son’s school and many independent experts. Qaisar was a good listener and communicator. He navigated this tricky area of law and enabled us as a family to achieve all desired outcomes for my son incorporating a comprehensive and robust EHCP. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Whilst Winckworth seem to be great on visas & immigration the same cannot be said for conveyancing. If you are looking into Winckworth for conveyancing- please make sure you read those reviews.
We had no choice as they act on behalf of Sage Housing Association who my partner brought a shared ownership property through.
We have been trying to sell this property (with a buyer found, chain free on both sides) since June 2023 (we are now in July 2024). Winckworth Sherwood have caused a mountain of delays. They failed to correctly spot that the car parking spaces in the lease were never actually registered on the title or lease plan filed a Land Registry meaning we then had to get them registered. As the property is shared ownership, our Solicitor requires authority to add these in from Winckworth and we have waited for 14 weeks (and counting) for a response. We are constantly told ‘as soon as possible’. Their ‘as soon as possible’ doesn’t seem very quick.
Overall, Winckworth Sherwood have costed this sale 8 months worth of delays from just not responding, absolutely shocking from the Housing Association conveyancing team
