Speaking on her appointment, Orla said: “Woodstock has been on my radar for some time now. The firm has such a vibrant and ambitious brand, unique amongst many law firms, and has significantly raised its profile over the past three or four years.”

“Woodstock recognises its hires to be capable, hard-working and trustworthy adults, and as such they are happy for me to work wherever and whenever suits me and my clients best.

''I found this attitude very appealing and it makes a refreshing change in attitude from more traditional law firms.

''Its recent hires across the board were also a big factor in my decision to join; the quality of the people choosing to join Woodstock Legal is a real testament to the direction of its ambition. This calibre of lawyers, the professional support and their level of specialism speaks volumes.''
