Our firm dates back to the late nineteenth century when Raymond Trotter established a Solicitors Practice in Epping. Thomas Chapman joined in the 1920s, and Herbert Whisker in the 1940s. Trotter Chapman & Whisker practised under that name for the next five decades. By the 1990s the firm was known as Whiskers and in May 2008 the partnership of Whiskers Solicitors was incorporated under the style Whiskers LLP. Read more...

Vicky and Jasmine were very helpful and kept me informed throughout the sale of the house process.
It was really appreciated and made the experience a lot less stressful.
I would highly recommend Whiskers and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Excellent and Timely Conveyance Experience

Whiskers were extremely attentive and effective when acting as the conveyancer for our first house move. The process was described well up front (which was much appreciated as this was our first home), checks conducted quickly and in good time, and the team were very knowledgeable when asked about processes or possible issues arising.

Easy house sale

Dealing with Whiskers (Jasmine, Carys and team) was simple and easy from initial engagement through to completion. This was complicated with LPA selling the property but again Whiskers made the process simple.

Brilliant solicitors

John and the team are absolutely superb solicitors. From start to finish, the team supported us in our flat sale and house purchase. They went above and beyond and in places, hugely made up for the fact that our buyers solicitors were awful. It was a seamless process thanks to the Whiskers team and I would recommend to anyone I know. Thanks again

From the day I met Shal during what was an exceptionally upsetting time, I've received excellent support, advice and compassion.
Whilst the whole legal process has taken longer than any of us expected, Shal has been constant support and offered excellent professional advice.
Whiskers have offered high levels of legal support, dealt with every curve ball that had come our way and helped me see the wood from the trees during a process I couldn't have dealt with alone.
I would highly recommend Whiskers and Shal to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Dear Whiskers.
I just wanted to say thankyou from myself and my family and on behalf of my Mother. Shalini Subherwal went out of her way to ensure that matters of the last will and testament were completed in an expeditious manner going out of her way and attending the hospital. Showing a compassionate and and professional manner during the entire experience. Always makes herself available and makes things easier for us at this time. Thoroughly recommend. Thankyou Whiskers and thankyou Shalini.
Mr and Mrs Mann
