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.

A superb solicitor - I cannot recommend her too highly

Rachel was excellent from the very word go: returning my Friday afternoon initial phone call on Saturday Morning! Not many solicitors do that. And then at each and every stage, her advice was clear, helpful and accurate. It was so good having her on board, especially as she had had some experience of dealing with my organization and knew a little of how their processes work. She was kindness itself when the day of the Police Interview came round and then taking the initiative in contacting the police subsequently to see where we were up to. And then relaying me the excellent news that the enquiry had been concluded, "no further action". Thank you for her very helpful follow-up letter, outlining possible rights of appeal: always good to know the whole picture, so that nothing can come as a complete surprise. Well, nothing after the bombshell of the initial complaint, I cannot praise Rachel enough: she came to me "highly recommended" and I can only pass on that recommendation to anyone else looking for a first-rate Solicitor. I would give her "six stars" if I could!

Excellent in every way.

I received absolutely excellent “ Gold Standard” and first class advice from Mike, who was extremely helpful , supremely knowledgeable, and his advice really cut through to the heart of the matter. You feel as though you have a legal ‘titan’ in your corner. He is no-nonsense and just wants to secure the best possible outcome for his clients. You can tell that he cares about his clients and endeavours to secure the best possible outcome. He is a real diamond of a person and a pleasure to speak to. Thank you.
