Slater Heelis—Chester office

North West presence strengthened with Chester office launch

Slater Heelis has opened a new office in the heart of Chester, marking a major step in the firm’s continued expansion. The St John Street office will deliver the firm’s full range of legal services while offering local support to existing clients in the area.

The move enhances the firm’s North West footprint, adding Chester to its established offices in Greater Manchester and its base at Sci-Tech Daresbury. The expansion aligns with Slater Heelis’ strategy to combine local expertise with specialist legal knowledge, bringing opportunities for growth and new jobs in the region.

Managing partner Rachel Fletcher said establishing a Chester presence ‘feels like a natural evolution’ for the firm, which already has ‘a large number of clients and businesses in the area’. She added that while Chester’s rich heritage mirrors Slater Heelis’ 250-year history, ‘it’s the shared spirit of progress that truly connects us’.

Headquartered in Sale, Greater Manchester, Slater Heelis provides a full spectrum of legal services for private and business clients, including family law, wills & probate, corporate law, employment & HR, and property law, among others.
