“My message to prospective clients is a simple one; I am here to help and be the buffer to your family, as well as the helping hand to have the strength to see you through this most difficult of times and complex of areas of the law. My goal is to ensure that everyone – especially the most vulnerable – has a specialist solicitor by their side to navigate these claims with sensitivity, compassion and above all tenacious determination to get the best result”

I have 14+ years of experience working as a contentious probate and trusts dispute solicitor and with a First Class Honours degree in Law from Exeter University.
I work in partnership with Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP, having previously worked for the firm for many years starting in 2008 as a paralegal then training and qualifying as a Solicitor with the firm in 2011.

I briefly flew the nest for the bright lights of a London practice in 2014, where I established a highly successful contentious probate department from scratch, before returning to my roots at Slee Blackwell in 2020 as a Partner.

From 2025 I am now on a new exciting journey working with my family consultancy company but will continue to provide the absolute best client care to often the most vulnerable of clients.

I am a full member of ACTAPS (the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists) since 2016. I have specialised in inheritance and trusts litigation throughout my career and have extensive experience in this specialist area of work, including claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family & Dependants) Act 1975, challenges to the validity of wills, claims to set aside lifetime gifts/transfers (including pursuit of complex civil fraud claims), and trust & executor disputes. I also have extensive expertise in beneficial interest cases, such as proprietary estoppel, TOLATA claims, and family farming disputes, in which I have a keen interest.

I am passionate about this area of law and a tenacious litigator. I do all I can to spread the message to those who are nervous about exploring their legal rights (especially the most vulnerable of clients) that I am here to help.

“Hayley Bundey was highly asute, tenacious and focused. She also had great warmth and empathy and sought to minimise the delays and associated distress caused by various detours fron the other side. Hayley was kind and careful around considering what was and was not relevant to the case, she gave excellent and balanced advice, which helped me to stay calm and think clearly about what outcome I could accept in terms of a compromise. The barrister and negotiator for the mediation were both amazing in action, and very friendly, honest and realistic about which point to stop, I appreciated their sound advice and their actual skills in bringing everything together so diplomatically. These individuals were appointed by Hayley Bundey so I am also grateful to her for selecting such skilled professionals.”

“We would like to thank you for achieving such a wonderful result, We were told by a number of solicitors we were “flying a kite”, but you had faith in the injustice of our situation, Thanks for all your hard work in reaching this result. We all appreciated your time, effort and advice. Good job well done.”

“Slee Blackwell took the case on and steered it towards settling out of court as much as possible. They’ve been tenacious, honest and organised. Hayley has looked after my interests very well and shown great initiative. She’s had great forward thinking and has both a strong overview and a strong command of detail. I cannot praise Hayley enough for her abilities and care towards me and my case. Our barrister expertly steered his questioning and revealed the truth in court, which made me very emotional. Justice is a good thing if you can get there and you sometimes can’t get there without taking legal action. That’s why you need intelligent and organised experts on your side. I’m grateful to Slee Blackwell for their efforts which have aided me greatly in releasing myself from being a victim.”
