Some legal needs come with real weight — a parent’s estate to untangle, a marriage ending, a house sale that can’t be delayed. Slater Heelis has advised individuals, families and businesses across Greater Manchester and Cheshire since 1773, and our team in Sale is ready to help, with video and phone appointments available whenever travelling isn’t practical.
As a full-service firm of over 140 legal experts, Slater Heelis is recognised by The Legal 500 across 12 practice areas and by Chambers and Partners, and listed in The Times Best Law 2026 — credentials that matter whether your needs are personal, family, or connected to Knutsford’s own business community.
How We Support Knutsford Residents
Slater Heelis doesn’t have an office in Knutsford. Our nearest team is in Sale, and we find most clients are entirely comfortable handling an initial conversation by video or phone rather than travelling in. Slater Heelis also has offices in Manchester and Chester, plus appointment-only offices in London, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and York.
Our Sale office: 1st Floor Crossgate House, 47-55 Cross Street, Sale, M33 7FT
Legal Services for Knutsford Residents
As a full-service firm, Slater Heelis gives Knutsford residents the same choice of specialists as clients across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, whatever the matter — from everyday family and property work to more complex estate planning, both of which come up regularly in a town with Knutsford’s mix of long-established and newer residents.
Family Law
Family law covers the legal side of relationship breakdown and family life — from divorce and separation to arrangements for children. Our family team helps Knutsford residents work through these decisions calmly and clearly, whatever the circumstances. See our family law solicitors page for more information.
Residential Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from seller to buyer. Knutsford’s property market spans everything from town-centre cottages to substantial family homes, and our team supports residents through the process at every level, keeping you informed at every stage. See our residential conveyancing solicitors page for more information.
Wills, Trusts & Probate
A Will sets out what happens to your money, property and possessions after you die. We help Knutsford residents write or update a Will, plan for inheritance tax, and manage probate after a loss — increasingly relevant as property values here have risen well above the regional average. See our Wills and probate 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 Knutsford 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 causes avoidable harm. We support Knutsford 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. We help Knutsford residents arrange lasting powers of attorney, apply for deputyship, and manage Court of Protection matters for a relative or loved one. 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. We help Knutsford residents understand their options before they act. See our employment law solicitors page for more information.
Dispute Resolution
From contested Wills to neighbour and boundary disputes, we help Knutsford residents resolve disagreements as efficiently as possible. See our dispute resolution solicitors page for more information.
Crime
Facing a criminal investigation or charge is stressful, whatever the allegation. We help Knutsford residents with criminal defence at every stage, from police station representation through to court, including road traffic offences and cases involving young people. See our crime and criminal defence solicitors page for more information.
For neurodivergent individuals and their families, Slater Heelis also offers dedicated support — spanning Wills and estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection matters, workplace discrimination, family law and criminal defence for Knutsford residents with ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent conditions. We’re featured in the National Autistic Society’s directory of recommended solicitors. See our legal services for neurodivergent individuals page for more information.
Knutsford’s town centre has a genuine business community of its own, and we also advise local businesses here on corporate, commercial property, employment, and debt recovery matters.
