What our employees say
Jay Lafinhan, Partner
Richard Bradbury, Partner I began my time at Slater Heelis in 2015 as a newly qualified solicitor in the Commercial Property team. From the outset I was provided with the tools I needed to provide a first-class service to the client whilst progressing my legal career. I have been lucky to work on some extremely challenging but equally rewarding transactions. Within a little over 7 years, I was promoted to the position of Partner. This was testament to the support and encouragement I had received from my colleagues throughout the firm, not just those within my department. During this time, I have watched Slater Heelis grow organically and go from strength to strength. Despite the increase in employees the ethos and culture has remained constant.
I joined Slater Heelis as an Associate in the Commercial Property team in September 2015. I was made a Partner in April 2018 and was supported by senior partners in my department during the partnership application process. During my time at the firm, I have been given a lot of opportunities to go out and win new work and promote the firm, which has helped me carve out my own niche within the department. Whilst a lot of firms pay lip service to the work-life balance and having a family atmosphere, these are core values of Slater Heelis which is reflected and actively encouraged by senior management and resonates throughout the firm.
Mohima Miah, Solicitor I started as a solicitor in the Court of Protection team in May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting a new job in the middle of lockdown isn’t the best way to embark on a new role. Despite that, team morale was really uplifting and everyone made me feel so welcome during this difficult time. The team at Slater Heelis really go above and beyond caring about clients; it is not just a file for us to deal with. I love looking after my clients, so working with a team that has the same ethos as I do reassures me that this is the right firm for me.
Kristen Drummond, Chief Marketing Officer I joined Slater Heelis as a Marketing Manager in 2015 and was made Chief Marketing Officer in 2023. Since working at the firm, I have never felt more at home. Slater Heelis really does support inclusion and diversity in the workplace, and that’s important to me. I became the firm’s first LGBTQ+ Champion and helped Slater Heelis to become the first legal firm accredited by the LGBT Foundation in 2022. Additionally, I sit on the firm’s Equality, Diversity & Inclusion steering committee where we work in allyship towards inclusivity to help shape our internal policies and processes, as well as our approach to client care for all.
