    Employment

    Redundancy / Agreement advice

    I engaged Whitehead Monckton and Eloise to review my Settlement Agreement following redundancy notice. My experience was excellent in every respect. Whitehead Monckton were quick to arrange my initial meeting and Eloise had thoroughly reviewed every clause in the Agreement. She discussed all her comments and advice with me and communicated directly with the Legal department of my employer. Eloise handled the whole process very efficiently and kept me informed throughout. I had full confidence in Eloise’s knowledge and expertise. Thank you Whitehead Monckton!

    Help with Divorce

    I turned to Whitehead Monckton when there was a lot of confusion regarding the Consent Order for my divorce. Melissa Markham was able to pick up a messy work in progress, see through superfluous details and almost immediately proposed a much simpler solution. From there she helped keep the process moving. We achieved Decree Absolute earlier this week. Divorce is a stressful process, but I really feel it was kept to a minimum by instructing Whitehead Monckton and Melissa.

      Fantastic Conveyancing Solicitor

      We couldn't ask for a better solicitor to help us purchase our first property. Chantal was proactive and engaged at every stage, making the process easy and stress free. The completion took place quickly and we received our keys right on schedule. WM have good financial crime controls - an intercepted deposit was on our worry list but we needn't have been concerned. I highly recommend WM and Chantal to anyone looking to purchase their residential property.

      Sale and purchase

      After saying for years that I would never move, I found myself in a situation where I had to move. I had lived in my house for nearly 40 years so it was a wrench. Chantal was very kind and guided me through everything that had to be done. She was very efficient, very prompt in all dealings with her, it was amazing to be able to get through to a real live person without having to press many buttons, a direct line to your solicitor is amazing. I would like to thank her, and all at Whitehead Monckton, for making what could have been a very traumatic experience much easier.

      I had a really great experience with Eloise helping me with employment . She did an excellent job and really knew what she was doing. What I appreciated most was how kind and easy to talk to she was. She explained everything clearly and made the whole situation feel a lot less stressful. Honestly just a really good service all round – I’d definitely recommend Eloise to anyone who needs help with employment stuff.
