Jay Lafinhan, Partner
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.
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.
