Solicitors for Poynton Residents

Family life doesn’t always go to plan — a marriage ending, a parent passing away, a sudden house move — and when it doesn’t, having someone who listens first makes all the difference. Slater Heelis has advised individuals, families and businesses across Greater Manchester and Cheshire since 1773, and our team in Manchester is ready to help, with video and phone appointments available whenever travelling isn’t practical. 

Today, 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. 

How We Support Poynton Residents 

Slater Heelis doesn’t have an office in Poynton. Our nearest team is in Manchester, but distance rarely turns out to be the obstacle people expect — video and phone appointments handle most matters from start to finish, and we build our availability around what suits you, not the other way round. If a face-to-face meeting would help, we’ll find a way to make that happen. Slater Heelis also has offices in Sale and Chester, as well as appointment-only offices further afield in London, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and York. 

Our Manchester office: The Apiary, 86 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2ER 

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 Poynton 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 Poynton 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 Poynton 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 Poynton 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 Poynton 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 Poynton 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. 

For any business needs alongside this, we also cover corporate, commercial property, employment and debt recovery matters.
