It is a brave person who, on being let down by a professional, trusts enough to instruct another. We understand that anyone who has already been let down by a professional will be reluctant to place their trust in another. We therefore aim to rebuild your confidence in professionals and to earn that trust by providing a first class service.
What we can do for you
If you are let down by a professional person, suffering substantial financial loss as a result, we can assist you in pursuing a legal claim to recover compensation.
What it will cost
If your claim is worth more than the Small Claims Court limit (currently £10,000) we will be happy to consider funding your case on a No Win, No Fee basis. We also deal with cases on a privately paying basis and under Legal Expenses Insurance.
If a claim is worth less than £10,000 then under court rules the winner won’t usually be able to recover legal costs from their opponent. No Win No Fee funding might not be financially viable in these cases, especially those with a lower value. Nevertheless, we may still be able to provide you with expert legal advice as and when you need it.

We can trot out the usual answers to this question – we have the knowledge, the experience, the expertise; we are efficient and friendly. All that is true, but Slee Blackwell is more than that. We pride ourselves in being a trusted part of your team, who can offer practical, honest, plain-speaking advice whilst providing an excellent service. First and foremost though, we are passionate about what we do. It is that which makes Slee Blackwell different from the rest.
