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.

Founders legal Journey

As a new founder stepping into external legal counsel for the first time, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I run a niche business, and it was really important to me that whoever I worked with actually understood not just the legal side, but the vision, direction, and specific needs of what I’m building. From the very first conversation, she completely got it. She took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, asked the right questions, and translated complex legal points into clear, practical guidance that made sense for my stage of growth. I never once felt overwhelmed or out of my depth, which, as a first-time founder with some legal knowledge massively helped make the process really efficient I felt supported, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout. For something that initially felt daunting, the experience couldn’t have gone smoother. It gave me real confidence as I take the next steps in growing my business. An easy 5-star service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carla to any founder, especially those taking their first step into external legal support.

Transfer of property’s

Very professional solicitor but also very helpful & friendly to deal with . Helen helped us to put a little pressure on my brothers by asking for them to agree to what we had in our business account was to be split three way between the three brothers & to agree to the figure I had got it too before the exchange of contracts . Which by doing so it helped to bring the business to a amicable conclusion in a roundabout way so Helen did a good professional job on the transfer of properties which was quite complex because of there being 3 residential properties & 1 commercial property plus some of the property’s were the wife’s as well so as I say it was. quite complex

Exceeded my Expectations

I would like to formally express my sincere appreciation to Anthony Le for his exceptional support, professionalism and unwavering commitment throughout the handling of a highly challenging and ethically complex litigation matter involving one of our clients. I first engaged with Anthony in August 2023 to discuss concerns relating to a long standing dispute with one of our blue chip clients in Manchester. This matter has spanned approximately two and a half years with extensive correspondence and escalating uncertainty. The situation had become increasingly overwhelming and the prospect of litigation was both daunting and emotionally taxing. From the outset Anthony demonstrated a clear structured and highly professional approach. He provided transparent guidance and the appropriate steps to taken ensuring that I fully understood the legal position and the strategic considerations at each stage. His calm measured manner and ability to simplify complex issues brought much needed clarity during a period of significant pressure. Over the course of more than 30 months of back and forth communication with the opposing party the process naturally became exhausting. However, Anthony’s consistent support, expertise and steady leadership made the situation manageable, allowing me to navigate each development with confidence. Ultimately, with Anthony’s guidance CSR was able to reach an out of court settlement that represented a fair and mutually beneficial outcome. This resolution not only protected our position but also brought closure to a matter that had been ongoing for far too long. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Anthony for his dedication, patience and professionalism throughout this journey. As he advised from the very beginning the process would be challenging for all involved, yet his reassurance and expertise gave me the confidence to weather the storm and approach each day with renewed perspective. On behalf of everyone at CSR we would like to thank you once again. I personally will remain in contact and we / I wish Anthony Le every success in his continued career. Thank you so much

We’re also pleased that, with his support, a fair and mutually beneficial out-of-court settlement was achieved, bringing much-needed resolution to the situation. Your kind words regarding Anthony’s dedication, patience, and steady leadership are greatly appreciated, and we will be sure to pass on your thanks and best wishes.

I cannot thank Alex Barley enough for his incredible support with the clinical negligence claim following the tragic passing of my wife. My wife was incorrectly administered a Grade 4 (major harm) dose of Alemtuzumab instead of her prescribed medication, and sadly passed away seven months later. Throughout this incredibly painful and complex process, Alex was exceptionally professional, empathetic, and kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, we achieved a satisfactory result. I highly recommend Alex and the services of Slater Heelis during such difficult times.
