Daniel was excellent for a service relating to a notice to terminate which we had contacted him for. We contacted him on short notice and requested this to be sorted fast, which once we had explained to Daniel the situation he was very helpful in. He provided the conclusion ahead of the required date, breaking our options down, and giving us competent advice. Would recommend highly to anyone else looking for help in this sort of matter. Thanks Daniel!

Our conveyancing process ran through the Christmas period, yet everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Miriam and Daniel were excellent throughout, coordinating clearly with the estate agency and the seller’s solicitor. They were responsive whenever we had questions and kept us well informed at each stage. Thanks to their diligence and clear communication, the process progressed smoothly and we completed around 2 months since my offer is accepted. Highly recommend Miriam and Daniel and their conveyancing team.

We were referred to Daniel Stern to defend the business in a substantial international cross border dispute. He proved to be clever, tactically astute and provided very clear advice. As a result of his pro-active representation we settled a proposed claim against the business for only 23% of the sum claimed. We would certainly use him again and highly recommend him

Slater Heelis have always been my ‘go-to` firm in respect of commercial property or matters of litigation. Following ten arduous months of litigation in respect of a forfeited lease, Daniel Stern managed to achieve a positive outcome for my firm. Efficient in dialogue, without the need to ever be chased for updates or guidance, friendly & approachable, a good job well done! Thanks Daniel.
