Mr Mark Heptinstall

I am a family law expert with 20 years’ experience in both complex financial and children cases. I qualified as a collaborative lawyer 15 years ago and since 2019 I have sat as a part-time judge both as a Recorder (Family) and a Deputy District Judge (Civil and Family). As a judge I am ticketed to deal with complex Financial Remedy and children cases across the country.

As the Head of Family at Slater Heelis, I lead a team over 30 + fee earners and specialise in cases involving overseas assets, complex business structures, third party interests, inheritance/estate issues and pension arrangements. My clients are often based not only regionally but the substantial majority are in London/South East as well as overseas, particularly the Middle East.

I am recognised as a leading lawyer in Chamber & Partners and described as a “very thorough, proactive and a hard negotiator” who “leads a great team.” I have also been recognised as a leading individual in the Legal 500 who comment that “Mark Heptinstall has the amazing ability to bring calm into troubled waters.”
