Price Slater Gawne

Price Slater Gawne is a law firm recognised by The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, with offices in Cheshire and London serving clients nationwide. The firm specialises in clinical negligence, serious injury, Court of Protection, wealth protection, and divorce and family law. Its lawyers are experienced practitioners committed to achieving the best outcomes for clients through clear, practical, and accessible advice.

The firm’s clinical negligence and serious injury teams have extensive experience assisting clients who have suffered life-changing physical and psychological injuries. They have been involved in high-profile and landmark cases, including the Dr Shipman inquiry, Bolitho, Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (CJD/BSE) litigation, PTSD group litigation against the Ministry of Defence, and the LSD group action. The teams are led by Mark Slater and Chris Gawne, both recognised specialists in their fields. Their approach emphasises a detailed understanding of injuries and frequently incorporates rehabilitative measures to support long-term recovery.

The Court of Protection team, led by Gareth Williams, complements the clinical negligence and serious injury practices by supporting clients affected by brain injury who lack capacity to manage their affairs. The team acts nationally as professional deputies and also supports lay deputy applications, with a commitment to making best-interest decisions tailored to client needs.

The wealth protection practice provides tailored intergenerational planning advice, working closely with clients and professional advisers to safeguard assets. The team ensures that funds for care needs are appropriately ring-fenced and collaborates with colleagues across the firm to deliver comprehensive future planning strategies.

The divorce and family law team advises on the full spectrum of family law matters, including divorce, prenuptial agreements, financial and property issues, and child arrangements. The department is led by Nicholas Clough, a mediator and collaborative law specialist, who ensures that clients receive pragmatic and empathetic advice with a holistic view of their wider legal circumstances.
