    Over the finishing line

    It was a slow start due to some incorrect date from the 3rd party, but then moved on a pace. I was impressed with the referrals sent. The psychologist was excellent. However the Orth consultant not to my expected standards bearing in mind i work in a hospital environment especially around Patient Experience. I think a fair deal was struck and appreciate the communications at every stage. Simon is level headed and even handed so felt i could trust his judgements.

    Jodi was incredibly helpful, clear and honest with her advice. She was very professional in dealing with the other party and recognised which aspects were fair to negotiate on and which were unlikely to be successful. Her professional support made the whole process much easier to deal with

    Construction legal matters – If you have are a new client and have a pressing legal issue, then avoid this firm as best you can. Wasted valuable days in onboarding us only to say that it was not possible, creating serious issue for us in reviewing a contract for deadline. What was not able to be done in 2/3 days with this firm was completed in around 2 hours with a equally prominent firm. Shame as other reviews paint positive picture. Avoid.

    A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review

    Serin, thank you for your feedback. We would like to reiterate that, as a legal firm, we are regulated by the SRA and must follow statutory ID checks on new clients. We were not provided in good time with ID that satisfied our compliance checks and unfortunately we had no choice but to decline instructions in all of the circumstances. We ensured that you were notified of our decision as a matter of urgency.

      Outstanding Service, would recommend

      I had an excellent experience working with Alishan Khan during my property purchase. From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly reliable. The entire process was handled smoothly and with great attention to detail, making what can often be a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. Alishan was always available to answer my questions and provide advice whenever needed. He took the time to explain everything clearly, simplifying complex legal matters and ensuring I fully understood each stage of the transaction. His communication was prompt, and I always felt informed and supported throughout the process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my property purchase was completed efficiently and with ease. I would highly recommend Alishan Khan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy solicitor.

      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!
