I am a Private Client Solicitor and Partner based at our Bramhall office. I specialise in Wills, Estate Administration, Trusts, LPA’s and Deputyship applications. I qualified in 2004 and am very proud to say that I became a full member of STEP in 2013. I have many years of experience dealing with complex and often sensitive matters.

I particularly enjoy Estate Administration and I think this is because it allows me to build a more longer term relationship with my Client’s and their families. I feel that my role is to make a Client, at our very first meeting, breathe a sigh of relief that they are leaving, knowing that I am going to make things easier for them/take away things which they find hard or painful, and feel confident that the next time we meet, progress will have been made.

I see the main issues to be dealt with and get on with dealing with those. I like the curve ball my area of law throws in and that case which tests your abilities, maybe throws up a matter not previously dealt with and the achievement felt having resolved it. I love being able to see the issues to be dealt with and being able to get on and sort those out.

I take pride in the fact that strangers can be made to feel comfortable telling me the most painful and personal information and I am trusted with that to give them the best advice that I possibly can.

I recently told a Will client that my eldest child (Harrison), was learning about WWII and after our appointment she relayed stories about her experiences which I told Harrison and he shared (with her permission) with his class. The point of my telling this is to emphasise that in recent years it’s the Client’s who make me want to remain a Solicitor.

I grew up in Higher Poynton so walked to the Miners Arms, Lyme Park and learnt to cycle along the Middlewood Way. All activities we have done with our boys Harrison and Heath.

With two young boys (9 and 11) we have learnt that we have to be outdoors! Harrison and Heath love to cycle and I have at long last succumbed to it having loved cycling in Sherwood and the New Forest this year. I am often found cheering on the boys at the side of the football pitch each weekend… much to their embarrassment!

What our clients say about Helen

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Butcher & Barlow, in particular Helen Chadderton. I was kept fully informed throughout the process of getting a Grant of Probate and finalising the estate of my mother. It was handled professionally yet with a friendly welcoming manner. I would highly recommend the company and will definitely be using them for my future needs.

I cannot recommend Butcher & Barlow enough. Following the death of my husband, I was tasked with the difficult task of dealing with a complicated Will at an incredibly emotional time. Throughout the entire process, Helen Chadderton was not only highly knowledgeable but always kind, patient and sympathetic, keeping me informed throughout and made a very difficult time much easier to manage. I am really grateful for the support and excellent service.

The Firm were highly recommended to me by a friend. I needed to make my Will and did not have the slightest idea of how to do this. Helen Chadderton has been just brilliant. She could not have been more helpful, kind and thorough. I now feel confident and relieved that I have sorted out the future and if I ever need any more help, she will be there for me.

I needed to arrange new LP's for my wife and myself. I decided to use a local Solicitor and chose Butcher & Barlow in Bramhall. I would definitely recommend them to others. Helen Chadderton was friendly and efficient and everything was completed to a high standard.

As a first time executor I felt rather lost and stressed about dealing with my late aunt’s estate. The task was rather tricky in that there was no original will, just a copy. Helen Chadderton did a great job. She handled the job with professionalism, explaining the options, and keeping me updated on progress. Thank you to Butcher & Barlow, and Helen in particular.

I could not give enough compliments about my Solicitor, Helen Chadderton, whom always makes you feel relaxed and covers the making of a Will in such a thorough way. Everything is explained to you and I appreciate every bit of her professional expertise and guidance throughout the whole process.

Could not have asked for better service. I would not hesitate to recommend, as the help and service we received from Helen Chadderton was beyond expectation.

The process of producing our Wills was handles in a clear, professional and efficient manner. We appreciated the way legal aspects were explained and easy to understand. Helen Chadderton dealt with the preparation of our Wills and her attention to detail and approachable manner made the whole process feel straightforward and reassuring. We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen.

I found Helen Chadderton and the staff to be very efficient, helpful and friendly. I am happy to continue with the excellent service they offer.

From our Solicitor Helen to the staff, they were all very competent and knowledgeable. I felt at ease and comfortable as soon as I walked through he door. Thank you everyone.
