Corporate Solicitor
Why join Slater Heelis?
Slater Heelis is a leading full-service law firm with a rich history of providing exceptional legal services to clients across the UK. Based in Manchester, we are known for our client-centric approach, professional integrity, and a commitment to excellence.
We do things a bit differently at Slater Heelis. We are a law firm steeped in rich history, priding ourselves on our long-standing reputation, experience and expertise. In May 2024, Slater Heelis became part of the Lawfront Group.
Now as part of a national partnership, we benefit from the backing Lawfront gives to its regional firms, the investment in people, technology, and cross-group collaboration.
Lawfront’s vision is to build a high-quality, national business dedicated to its people and retaining the very best in the profession to provide the very best possible service to clients.
As a consequence we are now looking to grow our Corporate team and are looking to hire an experienced solicitor, someone ideally with 4-8 years PQE, who will add their knowledge and abilities to this department.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
