Welcome to Ellisons Solicitors
An introduction to the firm from Managing Partner, Guy Longhurst.
OUR APPROACH
The culture of Ellisons is centred around our clients, colleagues and community.
Ellisons has been established for over 250 years, and this exceptional longevity is attributed to our tradition of proactive, friendly and highly-personalised service to our clients. Also fundamental to this exceptional resilience is our commitment to developing long-term relationships with clients, and willingness to change and evolve to meet and exceed the demands of clients.
This client service tradition is enshrined in the Ellisons’ Way – a set of practices and fundamental principles permeating the firm’s DNA. Ellisons’ Way is about being the trusted adviser, the ‘go to’ firm for clients, contacts and colleagues.
Although rooted locally, Ellisons has a growing international presence aided by membership of the Alliott Global Alliance (a worldwide alliance of professional firms). Our offering to clients and contacts is broadened by this membership and by the establishment of Ellisons Financial Planning, enabling us to refer clients to a trusted network of professionals providing an integrated service across the world.
