Legal 500 (2027)

 

 
I have worked with Michael Roche and Woodfines for more than nine years, and throughout that time Michael has been nothing short of exceptional. Most recently, he very kindly obtained some important historic ledgers for me incredibly quickly. This was hugely helpful and once again demonstrated the level of care, responsiveness and personal commitment he brings to his clients. As a property developer, I regularly deal with transactions and legal matters where clear advice, commercial understanding and absolute confidence in the solicitor acting for you are essential. Michael has consistently given me that confidence. He is extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic, approachable and always takes the time to understand both the legal position and the commercial realities behind it. Over the years, Michael and the wider team at Woodfines have provided an outstanding service and have always made me feel that my matters genuinely matter to them. That consistency over such a long period is rare and deserves recognition. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. Anyone looking for an exceptional commercial property lawyer — and a solicitor they can trust completely — would be in extremely safe hands with him. A very well-deserved five stars for both Michael and Woodfines.
