A firm revered for its litigation capabilities, Slater Heelis has a series of experienced practitioners who act on a range of wills, estates and Court of Protection disputes. Steered by Elizabeth Wilkinson, the team advises on professional negligence claims, undue influence issues, and complex probate proceedings. John Gorner‘s far-reaching expertise is especially concentrated in Court of Protection matters, and he regularly works alongside Chris Bishop who lends vast litigation proficiency. The arrival of Veronica Howley from HM3 Legal in July 2022 has bolstered the practice’s strength and adds additional knowledge of trusts, land and property disputes.
