Trotter Chapman & Whisker practised under that name for the next five decades.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Caroline and her team
Caroline and her team have honestly been a breath of fresh air. My experience of solicitors in the past hasn't been great, and I was sceptical about how our house conveyancing with Whiskers would go. We had two experiences, one was pretty complex and had a number of legal issues. Caroline's advice was very clear and practical, but also handled with kindness and empathy as we had to make the difficult decision to withdraw from the sale. Our second experience was probably as simple and straight-forward as it gets, approximately 6 weeks from offer to completion, and again the service was exceptional. Michelle kept us informed all the way through the process, taking the time to call us and find ways we could speed things up as we were in a time-sensitive situation. I wouldn't hesitate to use Whiskers again, and would absolutely recommend them!
A representative from Whiskers LLP responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Catherine! We're delighted to hear that Caroline, Michelle, and the team provided you with clear, empathetic, and efficient service throughout both your conveyancing experiences. It’s fantastic to know that we could meet your expectations and help navigate your situation. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future!

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.

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.
