Testimonials

  • Sara Beaumont defended a claim on our behalf after a supplier alleged monies were owed to them based on a private arrangement they claimed had been put in place. She acted quickly and handled the claim from start to finish, providing us with advice throughout in order to guide our decision making as well as ensuring we followed the appropriate legal process and completing all the paperwork on our behalf.  Sara then negotiated a settlement on our behalf giving us the best commercial outcome in the situation.  I would not hesitate to recommend Sara, she is a very capable, responsive and dependable lawyer with a commercial outlook.

  • WHN Solicitors was instructed to defend a claim brought by a manufacturing supplier which related to orders placed by Custom Shop Designs for the manufacture of swivel plates used in the conversion of vehicles to camper vans.

  • 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.
