Adam undertook this work [a public sector services agreement] under short timescales and was able to deftly translate his skills in preparing traditional commercial agreements into a more complex agreement between multiple public authorities.

I believe he is an excellent ambassador for your business.

Sally provided a highly professional and knowledgeable service. She was caring, understanding, patient and clear in her advice and the procedures involved for my case

Client A

Anne and her secretary are both a credit to the Firm. 1 or 2 weeks after my husband passed, she held out a hand to shake, but pulled me into a hug. It was a ray of light at a really dark time for me.

Wilkin Chapman is my firm of choice and executors of my Will, and I will gladly and have already recommended you to a friend. I have no close friends or family, but know that on my passing things will be looked after and done correctly.

Rachel explained thoroughly every step of the way and also advised us on some tricky issues.

 Again, thank you for all your help.

Client A

I would like to thank you for all the care you have taken in the administration of my uncle's estate. I realise what a lot of work was involved and your professionalism and skills have been exemplary.

When my husband died in June last year my life became a sad struggle. Knowing I could rely on you and all the staff at Wilkin Chapman to deal with the business involved with it all, was a comfort.

Thank you for everything.

Client A

Thank you so much for all of your help and support during these matters. In the nicest way possible, I hope that we never have to be in contact again about divorce, but I know where to find you if I do!

Thanks again Lisa; you've been brilliant!

Client B

Please accept my gratitude for your work; effective and professional throughout

Client A

I would like to say a massive thanks to all the team that worked on our case and especially to Nichola Williamson. I don’t think we could have asked for a better barrister. 

The professionalism and reassurance you all showed from the beginning was a massive help, and without it I think the stress would have broken us a while a go. Hopefully we can all return to a sense of normality. Once again a massive thank you to you all. 

Client C

I would like to thank you both (Teresa Thomas & Tracy Rowbotham) and the rest of the HR team for the fantastic advice and support you have given me over many years.

Julia Wright

The day I first rang I was going through so many emotions, but the solicitor rang me back because I was so upset. He let me talk for ages and for once someone was listening and on my side. I really can’t thank Jonathan enough - thank  you.

Client A

At a time when I wasn't sure where to turn too when I left the Armed Forces, Tean Butcher provided the support and confidence that I was being taken seriously and that he would do everything he could to take my case forward. I cannot say just how important this was to me at the time. Thank you

Dr Alison Amos

Andrew is a very professional person to talk to on the phone he takes his time and explain everything in layman's terms. He gives as much advice as he can to help you. He will go through all the options and explain how we should move forward with the case and help you come to a decision that is right for you with the best results. 

I was so pleased to have such a helpful professional person to help me. As long as Andy is on your team of solicitors I would recommend your company to anybody.

From first appointment to final appointment the care and expertise was first class.

Client I

I would just like to say a big “Thank You” for sorting out our employment contracts and staff handbook. You have taken a combination of thrown together snippets of information and turned it into a contract and handbook which far better suits our needs, better protects the company and you’ve also simplified things in the process. 

 
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone else looking to review their employee contracts or handbooks.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Rebecca at Wilkin Chapman for the professional completion of our wills.

Both of us were a little daunted by the task (nobody likes to consider their mortality after all!), but Rebecca quickly put us at ease and the whole process was very straightforward. Rebecca even happily accommodated our newborn baby! We will be using Wilkin Chapman for all of our future legal matters.

Therefore, we would not hesitate in recommending Wilkin Chapman to anyone considering making a will, or need services of a reliable law firm for any other issue.

The systematic analysis and investigative techniques used enabled the multi-faceted concerns to be individually identified, described and addressed in a clear and concise final report. The report identified the actions required to improve care to our patients and to protect the rights of the whistle-blower.

Client G

Laura was a pleasure to work with and fitted in well socially in an unfamiliar environment, which is always important when working abroad. Most importantly, however, she was a professional asset. I very much appreciated Laura’s legal knowledge and also her creativity in suggesting some possible solutions to a problem which I had not thought of. She was not afraid to get involved in our business meetings and she made a significant contribution. She also seems to have rapidly assimilated many of the political and constitutional issues that have to shape our work in Bosnia.

Piers Westlake, Senior Consultant, Agencia Consulting Ltd

Both myself and wife wish to express our deep appreciation of the service provided by your firm in connection with our house move, in particular, your employee, Sheryl Lever.

Her proactive attention to detail has been excellent, keeping us constantly informed as the sale/purchase progressed, clearly guiding us through step by step, and taking appropriate speedy action when the vendors' solicitors caused undue delays and complications.

Client W

We enjoy working with you as we appreciate the straight speaking, the fact that we receive a response so promptly, and that we don't have to pussyfoot in relation to outcomes.

The relationship between us and you and your colleagues has been quite defining as it has enabled us to move in the direction we want to be heading. Long may it continue.
