At Carpenter & Co, our history is integral to our values and we are proud of our origination. The firm was set up in 1924 by Charles Carpenter from his house in Wallington. In 1955 his son Noel qualified as a solicitor and the firm became known as C.E. Carpenter & Son.
Noel continued to practise as a solicitor for over 50 years and strived to develop the practice around the local and business community of Wallington and Carshalton, being very committed to, and involved in local community activities.The firm assumed its current name in 1988 when David Greenfield joined the partnership.

Services
In the dispute resolution team we advise a range of businesses on commercial disputes involving contract law issues such as breach of contract claims and company law issues involving shareholders and directors. We are also mindful that commercial disputes need commercial resolutions, with costs and on-going business relationships often being key considerations for our clients.
Cash flow is crucial to your business. Unfortunately, there are many clients who are happy to abuse your good nature and not pay you or pay you late. Here at Carpenter & Co, we undertake both consumer debt recovery and commercial debt recovery for a range of private and business clients.
The key to effective consumer and commercial debt recovery is knowing the debtor and adopting the most appropriate and cost-effective strategy to achieve the remedy.

We act for employers and employees in relation to a range of employment disputes including unfair and wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal (which is a form of unfair dismissal), discrimination and employment law matters generally. We also advise on settlement agreements (formerly known as compromise agreements).
If the court does not make a possession order at the first hearing (or on the papers) our charges would then be calculated by reference to the amount of time that we spend dealing with your file. This includes attending on you and others, dealing with papers, sending and receiving letters and emails, telephone calls, travelling to and from Court or other destinations and any other time that we may spend dealing with this matter on your behalf.
Renting out your property may seem like an easy source of income, but it can also be a legal minefield. The best way to avoid this is to take the right legal advice at the start before any agreement is entered into and before the tenant is allowed into occupation of the premises. We can deal with all areas of Landlord and Tenant Law and we are skilled in settling disagreements and dealing with claims for possession.

We were represented by Rebecca during our house sale and move. We changed to Carpenter & Co when the solicitors recommended by our estate agents proved very unresponsive. The difference in attitude and availability was a refreshing change and put our minds at rest that we didn’t have to worry that things were progressing properly. Rebecca and her team kept us in the loop and kept us informed all through the process. We would thoroughly recommend Carpenter and Co. to anyone looking for a local solicitors.

Conveyancing solicitors are notoriously criticised for slow response rate and ‘dragging out’ sales. Not carpenters. My solicitor made the impossible happen and I managed to complete within 8 weeks. If it wasn’t for her proactivity my sale and purchase wouldn’t have been possible. She was thorough and responsive throughout, I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

This is a late review, but late better than never. Gavin was the solicitor when I was purchasing a flat in London back to May and June this year. I wanted to complete the transaction by 30 June to save on stamp duty. I appointed Gavin as my solicitor in the mid of May, and 2 days later I went overseas for 2 months. When Gavin accepted the job (some firms stopped taking in any jobs or asked for a double normal price at that time), I offered him a bonus for completing before 30 June. He declined but assured me they would do their best! During the time I was overseas, regardless the unusual high demands

I have been using this group of solicitors for about 20 years! They are outstanding! I had the pleasure of dealing with Rebecca Mabert, she is incredibly professional, proactive and thorough. My recent sale went like a dream. If only all conveyancing solicitors were this good. Thank you Rebecca.

I recently had the pleasure of using their services in selling 2 of my properties and dealt with Andrea Adams. She was an absolute delight. She was efficient, prompt and professional. Thoroughly impressed and will definitely be using their services again!

A colleague introduced me to Carpenter & Co. Solicitors 16 years ago and I instructed the firm to carry out the conveyancing on a purchase. Gavin Cooper was my conveyancer at the time and has continued to be mine and my family's solicitor since. He has acted for our family on numerous occasions and as recently as last week!
I have always found Gavin thorough and very knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Gavin and his team (not to mention his Secretary, Cathy O'Shea) are very helpful and accommodating. I also appreciate the fact that they strive very hard to ensure tight deadlines are met.
