Excellent Service from start to end

The Senior Associate Solicitor patiently provides all the necessary information for all my questions from the start to end of the process with sincere inputs. The communication is excellent at each stage of the process. I felt that the overall service provided by the associate is five stars (outstanding).

Exceptional service

Once again I engaged the services of the Corporate legal team in the Chelmsford Ellisons office to support the sale of my business in March 2024. Abigail and her team were extremely supportive and professional as always. Throughout the whole process I was kept fully informed and received detailed and clear advice and guidance.

Service review

We used Ellisons for immigration advice in obtaining a skilled worker visa for a key member of our team.
We found the service highly professional with Sohan clearly providing expert advise throughout the process and ensuring that we remained on track. He was extremely kind and considerate, always ensuring we understood the next steps and all implications.
We would use him again for immigration advice.

Efficient and Reliable

In a time when solicitors seem to be notoriously slow to turn things around and respond, it is refreshing to work with a a firm you can rely on to turn things around in a timely manner and to a high professional standard.

Great Company with professional and supportive staff

From day one, Meenal and her team have been exceptional and incredibly supportive. They guided me through every step of the visa application process with clarity and transparency, making sure I understood the do's and don'ts at every stage. I can't recommend them highly enough—you'll be in excellent hands if you choose them as your legal partner. A special mention to Meenal—she's not only direct and on point but also incredibly supportive throughout the entire process.

Audrey McKenna helped us with our recent property sale and purchase.
The purchase turned out to be a difficult affair mainly because the vendors had chosen a large conveyancing firm who frankly were not good at all.
Audrey handled everything with infinite patience and professionalism and helped get the case over the line in spite of the vendors side.
Her service was exceptional, and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my conveyancing needs.
