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

I will be recommending and his company to others.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

The report identified the actions required to improve care to our patients and to protect the rights of the whistle-blower.

“I genuinely wanted to thank you and your colleague for the way in which the [councillor] investigation/interview was handled by you both.

[The councillor] actually said afterwards that, even if they were found in breach of the code of conduct, they would have felt happier about the process as a whole because of the way in which your part of it was conducted.

Lisa-Jane is excellent for big estates and wealthy landowners. She's extremely good and very organised, and the advice she gives is very concise and comes in nice easy bite-sized chunks. She has a very good relationship with clients, they clearly think very well of her. If I had to refer a client, Lisa would be my first port of call.

Client H

On behalf of all the Directors and Shareholders, I would like to pass on our gratitude and appreciation for the excellent / professional service that we have received from Tom Rook.

He is a credit to your team and company. Tom has delivered all expected documentation, including numerous changes from our overseas partner to a standard that has far exceeded our quality and timing expectations.

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.

Wendy Hanslip, School Business Manager, Grange Primary School

What more can I ask for? I sought advice, they offered a set of possibilities, I told them what I wanted and they executed my request exactly as I wished.

Wayne Scott Ross, Ferryport Group

Woldgrain Storage has been working with Wilkin Chapman through their offices in Lincoln and Grimsby for some years. During that time, we have always found their people and their services to be of the highest quality.

We would have no hesitation in recommending them to other businesses and look forward to working with them in the years ahead.

John Burnett, MD, Woldgrain Storage Ltd, Managing Director, Woldgrain Storage Ltd

Collectively, as a company, I have been impressed by their desire to know what schools need in this seemingly constantly changing world of education.

Jayne Perry, Headteacher, New Waltham Academy

The speed, professionalism and depth of expertise that I have found within Wilkin Chapman in the space of 10 minutes amazes me, the faith that I have in the advice given is absolute.

Alan Davison

We have been working with Wilkin Chapman since 2010 after one of our clients recommended them to us.

To begin with we worked with Katie Davies for all our employment law requirements but as the years have gone on we now use Wilkin Chapman for all our business needs.

We could not be happier with the service we receive and would highly recommend them to anyone who requires legal services.

Jenna Whatmough, Alexia Designs, Operations Manager, Alexia Designs

The service we received was second to none. We would certainly recommend Wilkin Chapman to our friends.
