Slater Heelis is a leading full-service law firm with a rich history of providing exceptional legal services to clients across the UK. Based in Manchester, we are known for our client-centric approach, professional integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

We do things a bit differently at Slater Heelis. We are a law firm steeped in rich history, priding ourselves on our long-standing reputation, experience and expertise. In May 2024, Slater Heelis became part of the Lawfront Group.

Now as part of a national partnership, we benefit from the backing Lawfront gives to its regional firms, the investment in people, technology, and cross-group collaboration.

Lawfront’s vision is to build a high-quality, national business dedicated to its people and retaining the very best in the profession to provide the very best possible service to clients.
