Really excellent top quality service. James led us through the difficult process of setting up a complicated charitable trust in a way that was understandable. He guided us carefully and prepared the questionnaire so it reflected our ambitions. He met a seemingly impossible deadline with more than a week to spare. At all times he was approachable and clear sighted. In short he was the ideal person to help us create this trust.

We recently met with Debbie, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis to review upcoming employment law changes and our wider HR and policy arrangements. The session was extremely helpful, practical and well balanced. What stood out was the ability to combine strong legal knowledge with a clear understanding of how organisations actually operate in practice, particularly within a charity and care environment. Rather than simply focusing on compliance, the discussion helped us think more broadly about organisational structure, policy ownership and employment risk as we continue to develop as a leadership team. We came away with clearer priorities, practical next steps and plenty to reflect on internally. Thank you again to Debbie, Sylviane and the wider team for such a constructive and welcoming session.

Andrew Best and Claire Marsden of HSR Law supported us through the process of achieving charitable status for our company in the charitable sector. I cannot praise them enough. They expertly assisted in changing our articles, supporting us through the legalities and procedures needed to achieve the required board structures and gave advice on completing an application to the charities commission. We could not have done this without their knowledge, support and patience and we are so grateful for all that they have done for our company and helping us to widen the opportunities for our students with complex learning disabilities.
