Manchester-based law firm Slater Heelis, which is about to enter its 250th year in business, has expanded its family division with six appointments to become the largest family law team in the city.

The addition of Vicki McLynn, Heather Broadbent, Faye Bentley, Amy Dawber, Daniel Knox and Kaya Ahmed takes the team’s headcount to 21 qualified solicitors. 

Its expansion coincides with Mark Heptinstall (pictured) celebrating his 10th anniversary as head of the department.

He commented: 'Our reputation locally, nationwide and even further afield has seen demand for our services grow significantly, especially over the last few years. The new additions position the department as the largest Manchester based team specialising in financial remedy, cohabitation and private law children work.'

'I’m fiercely proud of how far we have come over the last 10 years to now being the largest team in Manchester. However, this doesn’t detract from putting client service first and looking after our staff both of which remain key to our success.'
