Some legal needs are urgent and emotional — sorting out a parent’s estate, navigating a divorce, moving house at short notice. Others are more everyday, like a Will you’ve been meaning to update for years. Whatever brings you to us, 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 Prestbury Residents
Slater Heelis doesn’t have an office in Prestbury. Our nearest team works from Manchester, though in practice most of the advice we give doesn’t depend on being in the same room — video calls and phone conversations cover the vast majority of what clients need, from an initial chat through to agreeing next steps. When an in-person meeting genuinely adds something, we’re happy to arrange one. Beyond Manchester, Slater Heelis also has offices in Sale and Chester, with further appointment-only offices in London, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and York.

Legal Services for Prestbury Residents
Slater Heelis is a full-service firm, so Prestbury residents get access to the same specialists as clients across Greater Manchester and Cheshire — no need to go elsewhere if more than one issue crops up at the same time, which in family and property matters, it often does.
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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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 Prestbury 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.
