Manchester law firm announces promotions

Greater Manchester-headquartered law firm Slater Heelis has announced a raft of internal promotions across a range of departments, including seven employees rising to the positions of Associate Partner and Associate.

Sale-based Richard Bradbury and Mohima Miah have been both promoted to the senior roles of Associate Partners.

Richard joined the Commercial Property team in 2015, specialising in landlord and tenant matters as well as acting on the acquisition and disposal of commercial properties. 

Mohima qualified in 2012 and joined Slater Heelis’ Private Client team in 2020 moving from Slater and Gordon Lawyers. Her expertise spans from Court of Protection and trusts work, to personal injury and public, occupiers’ and employers’ liability. 

In the same team, Claire MacKenzie and Jodie Newton, who specialise in Court Protection matters and wills, trusts & probate respectively, have been promoted to Associates and Basit Maqsood, who joined the Private Client department in 2021 as a Paralegal, has now started a training contract with the firm.

Rising the ranks of the Family Law team is Claire Higham, who has been with Slater Heelis for approaching six years and gained her law degree while working full-time in 2009. Claire’s team has consistently received industry recognition— ranked as both a Tier 2 firm in 2021’s Legal 500 and Chambers, and as a shortlisted “Family Law Firm of the Year: North” in the 2020 Family Law Awards. 

In the Property team, David Jones has been promoted to Associate from Solicitor, having developed strong expertise in residential conveyancing since 2005. 

Finally, advancing to an Associate position is Mark Warburton, who’s been part of Slater Heelis’ Corporate team since 2015 and has accrued significant experience in acquisitions and disposals, private equity transactions, company re-organisations and early-stage equity investment across a variety of clients. 

Slater Heelis’ Managing Partner Chris Bishop commented: 'My congratulations to all those who’ve been promoted this month, showing genuine passion for the work they do, great commitment to the firm and extraordinary drive to furthering their personal development in their respective fields.'
