Knaresborough law firm announces move two years after death of founder
Knaresborough law firm Greenwoods Solicitors is to move to the former HSBC bank building on the high street, its owner has said.
Camilla Greenwood made the announcement yesterday, on the second anniversary of the death of her mother, the firm’s founder, Lynda Greenwood.
Lynda tragically died in a house fire in 2022, and Camilla has made it her mission to honour her mother’s legacy by making sure the family firm carries on and thrives.
She told the Stray Ferret:
The new premises, at 56 High Street, will have two meeting rooms, separate workspaces for fee-earners and support staff, and a large reception area. It is also all on one level.
Camilla said:

The move, which will follow a programme of refurbishment and is expected to be completed before July, is the latest in a series of developments for the firm under Camilla’s leadership. Last year, it overhauled its old offices and took on an extra member of staff, growing the headcount to seven.
In September, Greenwoods was named Family-Run Business of the Year at the Knaresborough Business Awards; in February, Camilla picked up the Triumph Over Adversity award at the Women in Business Awards; and last month the firm won a Special Recognition award at the Stray Ferret Business Awards.
