Litigation / Dispute Resolution

I was the lead in an action starting with the Pre Court Protocol for the construction industry - we were a group of 4 and a management company and needed help with the PCP - we decided on Whitehead Monckton from a list of about 3 solicitors - WM seemed the most helpful and understood what we were trying to achieve. On the whole we were satisfied with the way WM worked for us - there were just a couple of times where timescales were missed - therefore we needed to keep our eye on the ball but overall after a lengthy legal process we enjoyed success with our case.

This is a nice company. We were treated courteously and efficiently from the minute we arrived until our meeting with Grace.
Grace is very professional and friendly and we were both very happy with the advice she gave us. I would have no hesitation in using Grace and this company again should the need arise

Unfortunately I was left feeling that the advice given was inadequate and as a consequence time and fees were incurred and wasted unnecessarily.

We revisited our wills again, this being the 3 time over the years.
As always, we were given very good and practical advice by Kerin Speedie regarding the changes we wished to make to our wills. We feel very confident when using Kerin as she is very knowledgeable and personable.

Very pleased with every aspect of the service I received from Samuel Corse. I always felt time was given to explain all aspects of the will process and then to discuss any personal factors that were of specific importance to myself. Thoroughly recommend.

Sam Corse put me at my ease and was understanding and helpful in an area I am unfamiliar with. I didn't feel pressurised and was able to take my time and change my mind if I felt I needed to. He was gently able to point out any flaws in my decisions too.

Our experience was very positive mainly due to the excellent service we received from Miss Cilona Fletcher. She was very clear in the explanations she provided to Brett and I in making our will. She was incredibly patient and answered all our questions always in a timely manner. Nothing seemed to difficult for her. We will recommend her to our friends as she was altogether excellent.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been recommended to Debbie Tree. From the very first meeting we liked Debbie's personable and direct approach. Throughout the journey Debbie has communicated in every aspect, even taking the initiative to "chase" our buyer when things went quiet. Debbie has made the arduous task into a pleasure by her professionalism and depth of experience. An absolute credit to her Company, Debbie is a real treasure. Thank you so much.

There’s no one more professional than Veronica Fox at Eclipse HR. Over the years she has helped me as an employee and more recently as an employer. Her advice is always calm, considered and there is no one else I would use or recommend

My experience with Whitehead Monckton has been extremely positive. I have found the team to be highly knowledgeable and experienced. They have supported me through my case with care, compassion and understanding. The whole team including Graham, Lawrence, Neha, Emily and Bethany, have been consistently professional over the past couple of years that I have used the service. Their legal insight has always been on point and I have complete faith in the team, such that I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to others.

An excellent firm who processed my late aunt!s will and our own complex lasting powers of attorney. The staff all the way through to the partners were polite and extremely professional (in the wider sense), with everything rigorously explained. The fees are more than some firms but on the other hand they are regulatory solicitors..
