It was comforting to know that WHN were keeping a close eye on the administrative and technical aspects of what turned out to be an extensive amount of paperwork and complicated tribunal proceedings.
I also feel that having the same senior team at WHN oversee the entire process made the difference that was so desperately needed to succeed.
Business
We are grateful for the thorough, persistent, fair and transparent work WHN completed on behalf of the leaseholders to acquire RTM. In an unfair system this was not a straight forward case, it took more than 6 years to finally acquire RTM because of the actions of the then property management company.
Throughout this time the legislation process was made easier by WHN’s excellent work, talking in plain language and keeping continuity by having the same senior member of staff on the case throughout, it is such a relief to finally know our case was successful.

We have been using WHN for business contract law and debt recovery for around three years. After a long period jumping from law firm to law firm, usually due to inadequate advice, poor communication and slow responsiveness, we finally feel we have found a legal company that fits the bill for our business. Their advice is concise and accurate, they always respond to every question or task in a timely manner and their fees are completely reasonable. I would highly recommend WHN and especially Sara Beaumont in the business section.
Business
Consistently thorough, practical and technically proficient. The outcome was the best in all the circumstances

I have used WHN Solicitors twice in recent times for assistance in two challenging legal cases faced by our company. In both instances, our assigned solicitors Paul Matthews and Sara Beaumont were very helpful and were able to break down the complications of the legal jargon into something easily understandable to allow us to make the correct decisions to move forward. In both cases, they were prompt, professional and easy to work with. We would have no hesitation in recommending and using WHN again in the future.
Business
We have been clients of WHN solicitors for some 24 years now and have found their helpfulness, response, advice and service to fully meet our needs
Business
I work for a Registered Provider (RP) of social housing with properties all over the country, my work with WHN specialises on breach of contract and debt recovery. I have instructed WHN to recover debts from corporate clients via a winding up/high court petition or county court work. WHN have assisted us in recovering thousands from debtors which has had a positive impact on our cashflow. I would highly recommend WHN if you are looking to recover debts or check your legal position to do so.

“WHN provided legal advice to PM+M in relation to the lease on new premises for our accountancy, financial planning and business advisory firm in Bury. We were doubling the size of our office space, taking 2,787 sq. ft at Sandringham House in Bury.
The new office is critical in enabling us to continue to deliver our strategic growth plans, including expanding our headcount over the years ahead and responding to the ever-changing world we live in. It enables us to continue our commitment to the local market and it was important to complete the legal work quickly.
WHN provided us with excellent legal support on the commercial property lease and enabled us to complete efficiently and with the minimum of fuss, transitioning smoothly into our new premises at the very start of 2023.
