Legal Services for Hale Residents
Slater Heelis is a full-service firm, so Hale residents get access to the same specialists as clients across Greater Manchester and Cheshire — including the estate and succession planning that comes up often in a village where many families have lived and built wealth across more than one generation.
Wills, Trusts & Probate
With Hale’s average property price among the highest in Greater Manchester, inheritance tax planning and trust structuring are questions most families here need to address at some point. We help Hale residents write or update a Will, structure trusts to protect wealth for the next generation, and manage probate after a loss. See our Wills and probate solicitors page for more information.
Family Law
Family law covers the legal side of relationship breakdown and family life — from divorce and separation to arrangements for children. Where significant assets or family businesses are involved, as they often are here, our family team can also advise specifically on high-net-worth divorce. See our high-net-worth divorce solicitors page for more information.
Residential Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from seller to buyer. Our team supports Hale residents through purchases and sales of the area’s larger family homes, keeping you informed at every stage. See our residential conveyancing solicitors page for more information.
Personal Injury
A personal injury claim is a request for compensation after being hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault. We support Hale residents with these claims, including on a no-win-no-fee basis where eligible. See our personal injury solicitors page for more information.
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence, sometimes called clinical negligence, is when a healthcare professional’s care falls below an acceptable standard and this causes avoidable harm. We support Hale residents with medical negligence claims, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors and delayed treatment, with no-win-no-fee funding available where eligible. See our medical negligence solicitors page for more information.
Court of Protection
The Court of Protection safeguards people who’ve lost the mental capacity to make decisions about their health, welfare or finances. For families managing larger estates, our team can also act as professional deputy where that’s the right fit. See our Court of Protection solicitors page for more information.
Employment Law for Individuals
Advice for employees facing dismissal, discrimination or a difficult settlement agreement, including senior executives whose exit terms are often more complex than a standard settlement. We help Hale residents understand their options before they act. See our employment law solicitors page for more information.
Dispute Resolution
From contested Wills to trust disputes, we help Hale residents resolve disagreements as efficiently as possible — contentious probate comes up more often where larger estates are involved. See our dispute resolution solicitors page for more information.
Crime
Facing a criminal investigation or charge is stressful, whatever the allegation. We help Hale residents with criminal defence at every stage, from police station representation through to court. See our crime and criminal defence solicitors page for more information.
Slater Heelis provides dedicated legal support for neurodivergent individuals and their families too — spanning Wills and estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection matters, workplace discrimination, family law and criminal defence for Hale residents with ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent conditions. We’re featured on the National Autistic Society’s directory of recommended solicitors. See our legal services for neurodivergent individuals page for more information.
Alongside this, we also advise local businesses on corporate, commercial property, employment and debt recovery matters.
