    Excellent legal advice and real support

    Slater Heelis are an excellent firm, but I am forever grateful to Debbie Coyne and her team for helping me with my legal dispute. Despite having a knotty legal problem in some respects, it could have been straightforward. It wasn't because of our opponent. Happily for me, Debbie was my solicitor. Excellent advice, always quick to reply, incredibly knowledgeable and made sure everything was resolved as expediently as possible. I especially appreciated that Debbie was available from the start and when I needed her advice.

    Seamless and Professional

    As a growing business we were met with a particularly troublesome legal predicament which overwhelmed us at first. Debbie's reassurance and professionalism told us where we stood and advised us on the best methods to move forward. Throughout the process, updates were frequent and thorough. Even times when Debbie was out of the office, the team at Slater Heelis were able to pick up the baton, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted process. Would definitely recommend and will certainly use again in future.

    Practical, thoughtful and highly relevant advice

    We recently met with Debbie, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis to review upcoming employment law changes and our wider HR and policy arrangements. The session was extremely helpful, practical and well balanced. What stood out was the ability to combine strong legal knowledge with a clear understanding of how organisations actually operate in practice, particularly within a charity and care environment. Rather than simply focusing on compliance, the discussion helped us think more broadly about organisational structure, policy ownership and employment risk as we continue to develop as a leadership team. We came away with clearer priorities, practical next steps and plenty to reflect on internally. Thank you again to Debbie, Sylviane and the wider team for such a constructive and welcoming session.
