Trusted and Reliable

Whitehead Monckton were allocated to us as first time buyers of a property and we felt we were in trusted hands from day one. We were given prompt updates and appreciated the patience in sometimes explaining some of the numerous bits of paperwork and legal jargon. Felt assured that the process was going smoothly and to be completed before the stamp duty changes from 1st April. Delighted with obtaining our new home and would recommend these solicitors to anyone. Particular mention to Liz Dack who had been brilliant and clearly knowledgable in what she does.

I arrived at Whitehead Monckton with a slightly more than simple need to sort out my Will and the remainder of my estate. Cliona is very friendly, helpful and everything that a person might need to handle these issues. I am confident that the firm will be in a position to assist my family on my demise. I am glad to have made this choice. I am so pleased with what has happened, and have already referred a friend.

From the moment we met our solicitor, Sam Shoesmith, we knew we’d be in capable hands. The advice and service that we received was essential for us to be able to resolve the issue that was causing our problem.

Excellent service from Chantal from start to finish

We have recently completed the sale of our dear Mum's house following her passing. I had been very sad and was not looking forward to the task of selling her property. Chantal Muniandy has been an absolute superstar from start to finish, the service she has provided has been excellent. Nothing has been too much trouble, she has been warm and engaging whilst being incredibly professional and thorough. Chantal made this whole process easy, she has kept us updated at every step. She has made this whole process so simple with her calm, warm and friendly approach, yet I knew she was always giving us the best advice. I cannot thank Chantal and WM Law enough for their excellent service and support at this difficult time. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, she has been a pleasure to deal with

Litigation / Dispute Resolution

I had the pleasure of working with Sam for a number of complex litigation matters, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the outset, his expertise and professionalism were immediately apparent.

What truly sets Sam apart is his ability to offer clear, practical, and strategic advice. He took the time to thoroughly understand our cases, explained my options in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me navigate the complexities of litigation with confidence. His guidance was not only legally sound but also pragmatic, focusing on achieving the best possible outcome while minimising risk.

Throughout the entire process, Sam demonstrated exceptional communication skills.

Working with Eclipse HR has been a good decision for our charity. Our contact, Veronica, is utterly professional and answers all our queries in a timely manner.
Eclipse HR use their HR expertise but also their knowledge of us as an organisation when assisting, a truly personalised service.
Eclipse HR have met all our needs and have also provided us with up to date employment law when we didn't even know we needed it!
We highly recommend.

The team at Whitehead Monckton were fantastic in dealing with a very complex case of mine.

I was specifically dealing with Melissa Markham, whom was extremely professional, knowledgeable and reassuring... Melissa acted in a very timely manner and kept me in the loop 100% of the journey. I couldn't have been more pleased.

I would highly recommend this company, and specifically Melissa.

Thank you all at WM.

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
