Property Sale
Slee Blackwell has assisted our family many times over the years, always providing excellent service and this was no exception. The property sale was part of a deceased Estate and Steph was very professional, caring and understanding of our position. Whilst one of the executors resided in Australia, Steph and her team responded quickly and efficiently to any questions and they ensured the whole process was carried out in a trouble free seamless manner. I would highly recommend Steph for any property transaction and I look forward to catching up with the team on my next visit to the UK.

Excellent service
I have used the services of Slee Blackwell on a few occasions- for Power of Attorney, in the selling of a house and the writing of two wills.
Vanessa Swales was extremely helpful, explained things clearly and with a personal touch.
The fees were reasonable.
I can highly recommend this firm of solicitors.

I bought my house through Slee Blackwell 14 years ago so thought I’d sell it through them too. They were very on the ball and the whole process was painless for once. 2 months from start to finish which I was very pleased with. I found Steph and Mel to be very responsive and straight forward.
No hesitation in recommending their services. Thank you!

About this branch
Description
Slee Blackwell Solicitors are an award winning, Legal 500 recommended practice serving clients nationwide. 2020 was our centenary year. We have come a long way in the past one hundred plus years, but we remain committed to the principles of our founder Ernest Slee to provide the highest levels of professional service. We are proud to have been awarded Lexcel accreditation, the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and legal client care. Our clients therefore have the peace of mind of knowing that their legal affairs are in safe hands and that their interests are being looked after by an established, accredited law firm that is dedicated to providing a first class service. While we provide a full range of legal services, we are known nationally for our expertise in a number of niche areas of law, including inheritance disputes, medical negligence and animal law. Our work has attracted a great deal of media attention. Medical negligence Lawyer, Oliver Thorne, has for instance been celebrated for spearheading the fight for justice of hundreds of British PIP breast implant victims in the French courts, as well as campaigning for the rights of mothers and babies who have been let down by our health services. Partner James McNally (who has been shortlisted for Claimant Lawyer of the Year at the 2021 National Personal Injury Awards) has been dubbed 'The Dog Bite Solicitor' by The Guardian newspaper.
