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.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that our team were able to provide a session that was both practical and insightful, particularly in supporting your wider organisational development. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team’s approach.
My recent experience with Shazia Ashraf was spot on. Shazia is concise, efficient and above all, human in her approach. I can certainly recommend both her and Slater Heelis when it comes to employment issues.

I had just been made redundant and needed expert legal support. After searching for local employment lawyers, I found Slater Heelis and was introduced to Sylviane. From the very start, she was calm, reassuring, and able to take the emotion out of an incredibly stressful situation. Our discovery call immediately showed me that she is a lawyer you can truly partner with. Sylviane’s clear, confident, and humble communication helped me understand the situation fully – what was happening, what should happen, and what to expect next. Together, we agreed on a plan of action, and every step was handled exceptionally well. I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism, work ethic, and support from both Sylviane and the Slater Heelis team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of employment law advice.

This review was submitted by a verified client of Slater Heelis.
I instructed Slater Heelis to represent me during a settlement agreement following what I believed to be an unfair dismissal by my employer. From the very beginning, the solicitor (Sylviane Kokouendo) provided clear guidance, reassurance, and a strong understanding of employment law, which made a difficult situation far more manageable. The company’s initial offer was significantly below what was fair or reasonable. Sylviane took the time to understand the circumstances of my dismissal and used this information to negotiate firmly on my behalf. As a result, the final settlement was substantially improved compared to the original offer, reflecting a far more appropriate outcome. In particular, she successfully negotiated the following key improvements: • An increased ex gratia termination payment, ensuring the financial settlement better reflected the impact of the dismissal. • A higher contribution towards my legal fees, reducing my personal financial burden. • Inclusion of a reference clause, providing me with a fair and supportive reference for future employment. • Inclusion of outplacement support, which will assist me in transitioning to new employment opportunities. Throughout the process, communication was prompt, clear, and supportive. I felt fully informed at every stage, and her professionalism and negotiation skills made a meaningful difference to the final outcome. I would confidently recommend Slater Heelis especially Sylviane Kokouendo to anyone facing a similar situation.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that Sylviane provided clear guidance, reassurance, and strong expertise during a challenging situation. It is pleasing to know that her understanding of your circumstances and firm negotiation resulted in a significantly improved outcome.
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!

Thank you for leaving this review. We are so pleased you have given us a 5 star review and wish you all the best.

I would recommend Slater Heelis and Daniel to anyone who needs a determined and professional representative.
