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.
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 Alderley Edge residents work through these decisions calmly and clearly. See our family law solicitors page for more information.
For the formal legal process itself, gov.uk’s guidance on getting a divorce sets out the steps involved, alongside our own advice on the practical side.
Wills, Trusts & Probate
A Will sets out what happens to your money, property and possessions after you die. We help Alderley Edge residents write or update a Will, plan for inheritance tax, and manage probate after a loss. 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.
Residential Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from seller to buyer. Our team supports Alderley Edge residents buying or selling a 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. We help Alderley Edge residents arrange lasting powers of attorney, apply for deputyship, and manage Court of Protection matters for a relative or loved one, including professional deputyship and personal injury trust services where a specialist appointment is 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. 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 neighbour and boundary disputes, we help Alderley Edge 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 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 Alderley Edge residents with ADHD, autism or other neurodivergent conditions. This spans Wills and estate planning (including vulnerable persons’ trusts that protect benefit eligibility), lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection matters, workplace discrimination claims, family law support for neurodivergent children, and criminal defence for neurodivergent adults and minors — 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.
We also advise local businesses on corporate, commercial property, employment and debt recovery matters, for anything beyond your personal affairs.
