They are very organised and precise. Wilkin Chapman provide sound advice on the best legal process for each case. This helps us take the right cost effective decision always. They won’t miss one deadline therefore avoiding unnecessary costs.

They have the right mix between system portal access and people contact. We have used three debt collection agents in the past and Wilkin Chapman are the best we have used.

University College of Football Business (UCFB)

We will definitely be recommending you and your firm to our friends and family in the future.

Once again thank you for all your guidance, consideration and support.

Client A

I would like to say what a lovely lady Alison is.

From the first time I spoke to her when I needed a solicitor she made me feel comfortable and gave me good advice as to the way forward. She has been totally friendly and supportive. Obviously very knowledgeable.

Today in court she represented me so well, whatever the outcome - nobody could have done more - of that I was sure.

Anyway ... we had a fantastic result! Far better than I could have ever imagined!

So, thank you Alison for being there for me. You have helped me so much at this dreadful time.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in similar circumstances.

Client A

At Pennells Garden Centre we moved from another provider to Wilkin Chapman around 2 years ago. We had felt that our previous provider failed to understand our business correctly, they had lost their personal touch and their advice was simply not good enough.

Having moved to the local Wilkin Chapman branch we have found Katie Davies and her team to be professional, quick and understand our needs and business issues much more thoroughly which then ensured we made decisions with clarity. Katie and her team have been particularly helpful in navigating our way through Covid and its many different effects on employment law.

Will Pennell, Pennells Garden Centres

We have been clients of Wilkin Chapman for over a decade and in recent years have developed a strong working relationship with the employment division. Katie has been an invaluable support to our Company on an array of topics that we have tasked her with. We have always found Katie and the rest of the team to be extremely professional but they also take the time to understand your needs to ensure you receive the service that is most appropriate for your business.

I would recommend Wilkin Chapman to anyone who is looking for support or guidance from a team who take a proactive approach in making sure you, as the client, is well-informed to be able to make the right decisions for your business.

We look forward to many more years of working with Wilkin Chapman.

Sarah Harvey, L J Fairburn & Son Ltd

We have used the services of Wilkin Chapman for a number of years to assist us with employment law matters. Their support has always been exemplary – a friendly and responsive team, who offer a professional yet pragmatic approach to problems. I cannot speak highly enough of their services.

June Wass, Nippon Gases UK Limited

We have worked with Wilkin Chapman for our HR needs since 2019 and our experience so far has been very positive. Their very experienced team have helped us through a couple of very difficult issues and at every stage, we felt supported, and more importantly, confident that we were doing the right thing.

We had worked with a larger corporation before, but we felt that their priority was to minimise their risks rather than supporting us as employers.

We have developed a strong working relationship with Wilkin Chapman, more specifically Katie and Tracy who tend to look after us and appreciate their professional and pragmatic approach to HR.

Mercedes Mello-Jenkins, Freshney Green Limited

We have been clients of Wilkin Chapman for over 10 years, we cannot recommend them enough. Whenever we have a problem we are supplied with sound advice in an empathetic and understanding manner very quickly. We feel they are always on our side and have our best interests at heart.

Practice Manager, Glendair Dental

We have used the services of Wilkin Chapman for HR legal issues for a few years. They support us through some very difficult situations with a friendly, knowledgeable and responsive service. They greatly reduce our stress levels which gives us more confidence to deal with HR problems.

Angela Reeves, Practice Manager GP Surgery (NHS)

After growing frustrated with a ‘one size fits all’ approach from our provider, we decided to move our HR provision to that of a more personal approach from Wilkin Chapman. Katie, Tracy and the wider Wilkin Chapman employment team have taken the time to understand our business and the challenges we face to ensure we receive the best advice for the situation. The team are extremely knowledgeable, proactive, friendly and professional, and we have been extremely happy with the invaluable support and advice we have received over the last 3 years. They have given us confidence to improve our HR processes and ensure that what we do and how we do it is correct. I highly recommend Wilkin Chapman employment team for their outstanding HR advice and guidance.

Freshney Pelham Care Ltd

Collections and advice have always been exemplary; the services professional, timely and valuable; the people friendly, courteous, and efficient; the financial benefits quickly sourced, provided and clearly presented; the costs fair and competitive.

Caroline Fletcher-Shaw recently acted for us on a purchase of an investment Property. We found her very easy to work with, her approach allowed us to feel relaxed discussing complex issues.

Caroline was thorough, she took time to consider what was needed and advise us accordingly. All questions were answered quickly and precisely. Not always a common approach in the industry but certainly a welcome one!

The work carried out was all done in a timely fashion and throughout the process things happened when Caroline said they would. We were kept up to date all the way through the transaction. The documentation and service received from the back office team matched the high standard set by Caroline.

Using Caroline for our Property purchase has been a positive experience. I am happy to recommend Caroline Fletcher-Shaw and Wilkin Chapman Solicitors both professionally and personally.

A big thank-you to everyone for such an excellent training session.

The material and the content were pitched perfectly and held everyone’s interest, with much credit to the knowledge and skill of the excellent presenters, who made the topics both informative and entertaining.

These training sessions form a key part of our commitment to the quality of our service as well as good governance, so it’s a necessary part of what we do, but all too often the subject can be quite dry. But the feedback from all of them after the session was a big thumbs up!

Alison Twiddy, Lincolnshire Rural Support Network

Always professional, friendly and caring. It was an absolute pleasure to be looked after so well by Andy

Elizabeth-Jane Chitty, Somerset

A friend's recommendation led me to Wilkin Chapman LLP, and although they were not local to me, looking back I couldn't have made a better decision to choose them.

As a member of the Armed Forces for over 30 years I've always been on the go without really establishing permanent roots. As a consequence whenever I needed legal support I usually looked at what was locally available. When my marriage of 14 years ended, I found myself facing a difficult divorce, I knew it was essential for me to find the right legal representation owing to my Armed Forces pension and property portfolio.

The fact I was not local and the complex nature of my divorce required my legal team to have a compassionate ear, outstanding distance communications and be highly experienced in legal matters of children, property, maintenance and finances. Wilkin Chapman LLP excelled in all of the above and really got me through a difficult time with the very best results.

Client A

Thank you for the efficiency and professionalism you had when dealing with the house sale, which went through without any issues!

Client A

Very good and efficient service at all times

Client A

Andy Burnett was amazingly professional. He was not the original solicitor I had claimed with, it took 3 years, but Andy did it! Professional, amazing, dedicated, trusted, and an experienced solicitor.

Client B

Very many thanks for all the help that you’ve given us over the past weeks with resolving the problems we've had.

Without your help we feel sure that the company would have given an even less generous offer than you were able to extract from them!

We will not hesitate to use the services of Wilkin Chapman again in the future, nor in recommending you to other people.

Client A

Thank you very much for all your help in our sale and house purchase. You have made the whole complex process feel so stress-free and have been so helpful, kind and generous with your time.

Client C

We employed the services of Adam Ottley at the beginning of April 2018, to literally create our articles of association, with a constitution and dissolution.

As previously, another company had misrepresented Mrs Robinson’s Homes, and the articles of association or rather the lack of them were incorrect. Thankfully, Adam took this task on, which I am really pleased to say, undertook and supplied documents within a couple of weeks. On behalf of Mrs Robinson’s Homes, I would like to sincerely thank Adam for all of his hard work, diligence and speed at producing these documents. I will recommend Adam to all of my associates and more. Thank you.

Sarah Robinson, Managing Director, Mrs Robinson’s Homes Ltd

Sarah Robinson, Mrs Robinson's Homes Ltd

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.

Andrew McLachlan, Ouse and Humber Drainage Board

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

Robert was excellent in progressing and finalising my claim. I would not hesitate in recommending Robert to other person's dealing with injuries

We would like to say thank you to Rachel for all her help, commitment and also patience while the sale of our shop was going through. Rachel explained thoroughly every step of the way and also advised us on some tricky issues. If we ever needed to get in touch or needed any advise Rachel was very prompt in coming back to us, we both feel she went above and beyond. We would recommend Wilkin Chapman in the future to friends and family.

 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 E

I had excellent help and advice from Nick. He was very patient with my delay in getting back to his office through illness. I would not hesitate to recommend and use Wilkin Chapman again.

Client A

The feedback from the client has been exceptional and the turnaround of the work has also been superb, thank you for this!

Client A

Thanks for your help, support and guidance through this difficult situation. I couldn't have done it without you

Client D

Thank you so much for your help and support over the last couple of years. It was a huge relief to receive the news that I could keep the house and the marriage finally dissolved.

Client C

Thank you for your support and for going the extra mile at your own rick towards the end, I am very grateful. I was getting more pessimistic as time wore on, but your advice has been spot on throughout

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 and 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.

Client J

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

Client I

Thank you for all your assistance in my two cases and to confirm that nothing further will come to light nor be committed. I feel both times that my sentences were fair to say the very least and must put this down to your choices for barristers and prep work. 

Client B

The support and respect given to me by Cathy, Judith and the ladies in the front reception area / finance team was exemplary and gave me strength to go on with the proceedings

Client A - Family

I’d just like to thank yourself and Michelle for efforts in making sure we could complete the house sale on Friday, it was much appreciated.

Lynn Pedersen

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 Public Law team at Wilkin Chapman independently investigated a complex whistleblowing case for us. 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.
