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...

Leasehold Sale

We had an excellent experience with Svetlana Thorogood who guided us successfully through a very complicated and long-winded sale of a lease-hold property. Thanks to her knowledge and professionalism we got there in the end. We have no hesitation in strongly recommending her services. Thank you, Svetlana.

Whiskers Solicitors Property Conveyancing

Just purchased a new house, and Johanna Withams of Whiskers Solicitors carried out the conveyancing. I found Johanna to be a very friendly, reliable, diligent, knowledgeable, and highly professional solicitor. Her communication was first class and she was a genuine pleasure to deal with - her work was simply excellent. I am very grateful to her for the great work she carried out for us. I would certainly use Whiskers Solicitors again in the future. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service

I recently used Whiskers Solicitors Bishops Stortford for conveyancing and was more than pleased with the service I received. I always felt well informed at each stage and with a deadline to meet, Johanna and her team worked hard to ensure we completed on time.
Thank you, would definitely use again.

First class service and support

This review is for a different branch.

This is the second time we have used Lucas to help with our new commercial lease, fantastic service, very approachable, knowledgeable and efficient. Brilliant that he remember are previous appointment and remembered all the details, which meant we didn't have to lose any time going over everything again. Exceptional care and patience taken to make sure I understood all the nitty gritty details, explaining things more than once when needed - this was really appreciated.
Highly recommend and would have no hesitation to use him again in the future.

I have been using Shalini Subherwal as my solicitor for family matters for over 10 years. Firstly, for an incredibly difficult divorce and most recently for another matter that needed clearing up. During this time she has always been the voice of reason and provided sound legal advice. I can't recommend Shalini or Whiskers highly enough.

A client

My father chose Whiskers to be the Executor of his estate. It was a straight forward estate, no property to sell. We were originally advised that it would take 6 to 8 weeks. It took nearly 11 months with some money still being held back. We have to continually ask for an update, and 14 months after my father passed, I am having to chase again. One reply to an email was that if you keep emailing to chase, you will be charged more! Absolutely appalling service, especially when a family is trying to grieve.

My divorce journey started with Reza in Epping and was finally concluded with Shalini. It was an emotional journey for me and consistent throughout was the caring nature of both of Reza and Shalini. I had an ex determined to create pain and have his moment at court but never once did they allow me to make emotive decisions and were constantly keeping me level headed, making clear decisions without escalation. Thank you to both of you :)

Can not thank Shalini Subherwal at Whiskers solicitors enough for all her work, advice and support she provided my family and me over the last few months. Communication with Shalini was extremely efficient, easy, quick. Always returned emails and phone calls. Shalini helped us with a family law issue and was incredibly knowledgeable. Provided clear and accurate information. I can honestly say that not only did she provide an exceptional professional service, she shows compassion and support on a personal level which I’m truly grateful for. Thank you so much Shal.
