Slater Heelis Solicitors has appointed Charlotte Beck as its new Head of Family, marking a significant step in the firm’s continued investment in the growth and development of its Family law team and to providing high quality legal advice to its clients.
Already a Partner at the firm and Head of the Manchester office, Charlotte brings extensive experience across divorce and cohabitation disputes, with particular expertise in high-net-worth financial cases and complex children matters. Her appointment reflects her position as a leading Family Solicitor both in the North West and nationally with a reputation for achieving outstanding outcomes for her clients. The appointment of a new Head of Department also demonstrates the firm’s commitment to the growth of the Family team with Charlotte now at the helm looking to bolster its already well-established reputation and brand positioning in such a competitive sector with case outcomes that speak for themselves.
Charlotte is widely recognised for her clear, concise and solutions-focused approach and for securing the best results for her clients. As a collaboratively trained lawyer, she is known for identifying alternative routes to resolution, helping clients navigate challenging situations with clarity and confidence. Her expertise in handling intricate and high-value cases further strengthens the firm’s reputation in this area and her ability to combine technical excellence with empathy has earned her strong praise from peers and a loyal client base, with regular referrals from other professionals.
In her new role, Charlotte will lead the continued growth of the Family team, with a focus on developing talent within the department by sharing her expertise, experience and knowledge to ensure the team continually provides high quality legal advice which will further consolidate its position as a leading team of family lawyers.
Rachel Fletcher, Managing Partner at Slater Heelis said: “Charlotte has a clear vision for the future of the Family team and a strong sense of responsibility for the culture we are building together. Her focus on collaboration, quality and developing others will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen both our client offering and the Family team.”
Her legal expertise has also been recognised by leading counsel, with Piers Pressdee KC of 4PB describing one case led by Charlotte as “probably the most conflicted private law case of my 30-year career,” adding that “but for Charlotte Beck’s extraordinary input, there is no way our client would have prevailed.”
As the new Head of Family, Charlotte Beck added: “I am delighted to take on the role of Head of Family at Slater Heelis. We have an incredibly talented and dedicated team, with whom it is a pleasure to work. I am passionate about continuing to build a collaborative, supportive culture while delivering the highest standards for our clients in an environment where our people can grow, develop and thrive. I can’t wait to lead the team through this next phase of growth and development, and I am feeling incredibly excited about the future for everyone involved.”
