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.
