Slater Heelis family team named among the best in the UK for high net worth family law
North West law firm, Slater Heelis Solicitors, which has offices in Chester, has secured a debut ranking in the prestigious Chambers High Net Worth Guide, placing its family law team among an elite group of firms recognised UK-wide for their work with high net worth clients.
The ranking, in the Family/Matrimonial Finance: High Net Worth category, is one of the most selective and highly regarded in the legal profession, spotlighting firms trusted to handle complex financial matters typically valued between £5 million and £50 million; and on occasion significantly higher. Being named in a UK-wide guide by Chambers places Slater Heelis alongside some of the country’s most established names in high net worth family law.
The recognition reflects the team’s strength across high net worth divorce cases, wealth protection through pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, international family law, offshore trust matters, company and shareholder cases and financial claims for children. The team acts for clients across the UK and internationally and regularly receives referrals from other ranked firms which is a significant sign of the trust and esteem the team commands within the profession.
The debut in this guide caps a strong run of recognition for the firm, which has also been named in The Times’ Best Law Firms 2026 and specifically commended in the Family category for the fifth consecutive year.
The family team is led by Charlotte Beck, a Partner and also Head of Slater Heelis’ Manchester office. Since Charlotte’s appointment the team has already made significant steps forward and receiving this national recognition reflects those achievements. Charlotte is also individually recognised as a key lawyer in both the Legal 500 and Chambers directories, sits on the Manchester Resolution Committee and is a collaboratively trained lawyer.
Charlotte Beck said: “To be recognised by the Chambers High Net Worth Guide is a fantastic achievement for the whole team. It reflects the breadth of expertise we offer, from complex financial remedy and wealth protection work through to international family law and trust disputes and is testament to the fact clients trust us with matters of real significance and complexity. I’m incredibly proud of everyone in the department and this ranking is a strong platform for us to build on as we continue to grow our national and international reach.”
The family team’s full-service offering spans complex matrimonial finance, wealth protection, companies and shareholders, unmarried couples, complex disputes relating to children, and international family law. All senior fee earners are trained in non-court dispute resolution, and the team is an active partner of the LGBT Foundation, providing pro bono advice through its Legal Clinic, as well as supporting Resolution’s family legal clinic at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre and the University of Manchester’s Justice Hub.
Chambers is one of the legal profession’s most respected ranking guides, compiled through extensive research, client feedback, and interviews with practitioners across the market. Its High Net Worth Guide is regarded as the definitive benchmark for firms advising the UK’s wealthiest individuals
and families.
