We are thrilled to announce our continued success in the newly released Chambers Rankings, following our record rankings in this year’s Legal 500 announcement.
Our firm has achieved recognition for four teams in the rankings, with our Corporate division leading the way. We’re particularly proud that our Corporate team has bolstered its position to a Band 1 ranking for the first time. Additionally, Simon Wallwork, Partner and Head of the Corporate team, has been individually recognised for his outstanding performance, ranked in Band 1 for the third consecutive year.
Other notable achievements include:
- Our Real Estate team, led by Will Henson and Zara Banday, is ranked for the first time in Band 3
- Our Crime team has retained their position in Band 2
- Our Family team is also ranked in Band 2
Simon Wallwork, Partner and Head of the Corporate team, expressed his pride in the team’s achievements: “We are incredibly proud of our achievements, and to have this recognised with a solid Band 1 ranking is testament to the team who work tirelessly for their clients and with unwavering support for each other. We’ve had an incredible 12 months and are very busy with a significant pipeline of work. We have some bold ambitions for strategic growth going forward, so being ranked Band 1 will also help us attract the right calibre of talent to the team, which is a rewarding prospect.”
In addition to our team rankings, five more individuals within our firm have been recognised:
- Ken Salmon in our Construction team has marked a decade as Senior Statesperson, first charting in this position back in 2016
- Rachel Fletcher (Crime) and Mark Heptinstall (Family) are ranked Band 2
- Kim Aucott and Charlotte Beck, both in the Family team, are ranked in Band 4
Rachel Fletcher, Managing Partner of Slater Heelis, commented on the announcement: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the results of this year’s Chambers Rankings. Our teams work incredibly hard day in, day out, and so to receive such prestigious recognition for their efforts is a real career and company highlight and testament to their individual and collective efforts.
“At Slater Heelis, we always pride ourselves on our people-first approach, and now more than ever, we are investing in the best talent, the best training, and creating the best workplace for our team to thrive in. All of this is then reflected in the happiness of our clients, the increased demand for our business, and these all-important rankings that recognize true excellence in our field.
“I want to take the opportunity to thank every member of the firm for their continued commitment. It’s amazing what the company has achieved in over 250 years, and I feel incredibly excited for the future of Slater Heelis.”
