A Will that hasn’t been reviewed in years, a divorce involving more than the ordinary complications, a house move that needs careful handling — these are the moments that call for considered, expert advice. 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.
Slater Heelis is a full-service firm of over 140 legal experts, 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 when the decisions in front of you carry real weight, as they often do for Alderley Edge’s higher-value estates and properties.

Legal Services for Alderley Edge Residents
As a full-service firm, Slater Heelis gives Alderley Edge residents access to the same breadth of expertise as clients right across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, whatever the situation calls for — including the estate planning, tax and higher-value property work that comes up more often here than in most of the towns we cover.
Wills, Trusts & Probate
With Alderley Edge property values regularly running well above the regional average — and often over £1 million for larger detached homes — inheritance tax planning is rarely a hypothetical question here. We help Alderley Edge residents write or update a Will, structure trusts to protect wealth for the next generation, and manage probate after a loss, with particular experience where property, investments, and business interests all need to be accounted for together. See our Wills and probate solicitors page for more information.
Gov.uk’s guidance on making a Will covers the legal basics, though most people benefit from tailored advice for anything beyond the simplest estate — which describes most Alderley Edge estates.
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, property or business interests are involved, as they often are here, our family team also advises specifically on high-net-worth divorce, including how pensions, family businesses and jointly-held property are treated. 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. Alderley Edge’s property market includes some of Cheshire’s higher-value transactions, and our team supports residents through purchases and sales at every level — from a first flat to a substantial family home — 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 Alderley Edge 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 Alderley Edge 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 or more complex estates, our team can also act as a professional deputy where that’s the right fit, alongside the more familiar lasting power of attorney and deputyship work. 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 contracts and exit terms are often more complex than a standard settlement. We help Alderley Edge 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 Alderley Edge residents resolve disagreements as efficiently as possible — contentious probate, in particular, 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 Alderley Edge 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.
Slater Heelis also provides dedicated legal support for neurodivergent individuals and their families — including help with Wills and estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection matters, workplace discrimination, family law, and criminal defence for Alderley Edge residents with ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent conditions. The firm is 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.
