Slee Blackwell

Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP has 5 offices, 19 partners and is Lexcel accredited.

In addition to providing a range of traditional legal services regionally (such as property, family law, private client and commercial law) the firm also offers a number of niche practice areas, serving clients nationwide. These include:

Contentious Trusts and Probate: https://www.inheritancedisputes.co.uk/

Clinical Negligence: https://www.medicalaccidentlawyers.co.uk/

Personal Injury Law: https://sbclaims.co.uk/

Professional Negligence: https://www.proneg.co.uk/

The contentious probate team deals with a range of cases, including invalidity challenges, Inheritance Act claims, executor disputes and equitable interest claims. Various funding options are available, including No Win - No Fee.

The firm's clinical negligence department offers services to claimants on a No Win, No Fee basis, fully supported by legal expenses insurance to ensure that clients are not exposed to costs risks. The team is currently pursuing claims in the French courts for British victims of the PIP breast implant scandal.

Personal injury law has long been a core element of the firm’s practice. The emphasis is on high value and complex cases. The firm is a leader in the field of animal law, with department head James McNally being dubbed by the British media as The Dog Bite Solicitor. The department also includes a team of lawyers specialising in abuse law who have won a number of awards for their pioneering work in this area.

Professional negligence law has been another specialism of the firm for many years. Acting exclusively for claimants, the team deals with claims against surveyors, accountants, solicitors and other professionals.

2020 was the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Slee Blackwell Solicitors. You can find a short potted history of the firm’s last one hundred years here.
