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.
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, and we find most clients are entirely comfortable handling an initial conversation by phone or video call rather than travelling in. Slater Heelis also has offices in Sale and Chester, plus appointment-only offices in London, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and York.

Legal Services for Poynton Residents
Slater Heelis is a full-service firm, so Poynton residents have the same choice of specialists as clients across Greater Manchester and Cheshire — useful when more than one matter comes up at once, as often happens when a family is settling in for the long term.
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 Poynton residents work through these decisions calmly and clearly. 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. Many Poynton moves are families relocating for more space, and our team supports residents through the process with that in mind, 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 Poynton 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.
Personal Injury
A personal injury claim is a request for compensation after being hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault. We support Poynton 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 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. 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 supports neurodivergent individuals and their families with dedicated legal help — including Wills and estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, Court of Protection matters, workplace discrimination, family law and criminal defence for Poynton 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.
