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.

TUPE & Contract advice

Ran into an issue with a client who we believed terminated a contract incorrectly and avoided TUPE responsibilities. SH guided me through the legal stance allowing me to make an informed decision on my next move.

Highly Supportive and Knowledgeable Solicitor

I had a very positive experience working with this Sylviane on my Settlement Agreement. She was knowledgeable, patient, and supportive from start to finish. Her guidance was clear and I felt fully informed at every stage. I truly appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone needing employment law advice.

Reassuring to have someone so experienced

Rachel was recommended to me by another lawyer who I had worked with in a different area of law. I contacted Rachel by email, an got a response within hours that she was in court and would call be when she was finished. She did just that even though it was after 6.30pm on a Friday. From my first conversation with Rachel is was clear how experienced she was and that the deeply reassuring given the circumstances. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rachel to anyone I knew

Probate ... resolving family dispute ... addendum

I would further add ... I found Daniel professional, pleasure to deal with; he had a tenacious approach and delivered a first class service. The outcome of the dispute has made a difference to my life.

Dispute Resolution

Probate ... resolving family dispute

Three siblings, two siblings against one, all executors of the will with fives issues to be resolved. Mediation was suggested by friends but none of the siblings wanted to pay £10,000+. One sibling contacted Slater Heelis regarding resolution, in particular property, and was referred internally to Daniel Stern, Head of Property Litigation - Dispute Resolution. He dealt with the solicitors representing the other two siblings and wrote the settlement agreement which the other two siblings signed. Family relations have 'normalised'. Friends who have been through complicated divorces insisted I get a lawyer, or end up with nothing, are delighted with the outcome. Needless to say I am glad Daniel was my solicitor as he absolutely resolved the conflict.
