Yesterday, we welcomed our colleagues at Lawfront with a town hall meeting and celebration at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. After formally joining Lawfront last week, this event allowed our teams to meet and get to know each other. Presentations delivered by Axel Koelsch and Neil Lloyd showcased an exciting plan for the future, emphasising their focus on collaboration and growth. We look forward to seeing the success our teams can make happen together.

Last week we held celebration events for Mike Fox who has retired having worked at Slater Heelis for a combined 29 years. Since joining the firm in 1977, Mike has been an important part of our history, contributing significantly through his extensive and loyal client base. He also helped facilitate several lateral hires and mergers with likeminded lawyers and practices. His leadership as Managing Partner since 2008, and later as Senior Partner from 2013, came at a crucial time of strong growth. His mentorship of our solicitors ensures that his legacy will continue to influence our firm for years to come.
