    Exceptional Employment Law Support from Jonathan Insley at Ellisons

    Jonathan has been exceptional throughout this matter. His advice has been clear, pragmatic and commercially focused from the outset. He handled a difficult and sensitive employment situation with professionalism and confidence, while always keeping Marcon’s best interests protected. What stood out most was his responsiveness, strategic thinking and ability to cut through the noise to provide straightforward, practical advice. Jonathan remained calm under pressure, communicated clearly at every stage and gave me complete confidence in the approach being taken. I would not hesitate to recommend Jonathan and Ellisons to anyone requiring high-level employment law support. An excellent service throughout.

    I've contacted Ellisons on a number of occasions to deal with different matters, and each time the service has always been excellent. Samantha has provided comprehensive information to support me and has been very clear in her advice, including being open about the potential outcomes. She has also been prompt in replying to emails and returning calls. Would highly recommend.

    Ellisons Legal Team - Jonathan Insley

    I recently requested Jonathan's help with a personal employment matter. I agree with the above review, i.e. I found Jonathan to be extremely professional, personable and a calming influence during what was, at times, a stressful experience. Jonathan guided me through the process and ultimately assisted me in achieving the outcome I wanted. He was quick to respond to my queries and provide recommendations, where appropriate. I would certainly recommend his services and would not hesitate to use Ellisons again, should the need arise.

    A really poor service for business, no attention to detail and no clear communication. I was embarrassed for them after having to deal with their litigation team, who wasted our time and their own client’s. Despite being one of the largest firms in the region, they don’t even make it into the top 5 in East Anglia: it’s clear to see why. I instructed out around £300,000 of legal work last year and none of went to Ellisons: for good reason.

    Dear Stephen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to read your comments, though we note that you are not a recent client of Ellisons. If you'd like to discuss your experience further or clarify any concerns, please call us on 01473 230033 or email us at enquiries@ellisons.com.

      Re-mortgage

      Very happy to recommend Marion to anyone needing to re-mortgage. This was the second occasion that Marion has dealt with the legal side of a re-mortgage for me. I found her and her team to be very professional and efficient throughout.

      Transfer of Title Deeds - Land Registry

      I have had connections with Ellisons for many years, mainly regarding my Will, but this is the first time I’ve had anything to do with Land Registry. My husband died last year leaving two properties to me and his two brothers and it felt like quite a complicated process to have to consider! Emily dealt with this whole procedure incredibly efficiently Right from our first interaction I felt reassured by her professionalism and expertise. She kept us all clearly informed every step of the way, was friendly and approachable, and her communication was excellent! Nothing seemed too much trouble and I can’t thank her enough for all she did during such an emotional time.

      British Citizenship Application

      I am very pleased with the legal services provided in support of my British citizenship application through right of descent. The process involved several complexities, including coordinating documentation across British Columbia and Quebec, resolving name discrepancies in a parent's identity documents, and managing referee requirements. My attorney navigated all of this efficiently and with clear, practical guidance throughout. Communication was consistently responsive and professional. I always felt well-informed about next steps, which kept the application moving without unnecessary delays. I would recommend these services without hesitation to anyone pursuing a descent-based citizenship application.

      My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.

      My wife and I had our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney prepared by Amy and her team, and we highly recommend Ellisons as a go-to law firm for wills, LPAs and inheritance tax advice. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain each step of the will writing and Lasting Power of Attorney process and providing helpful guidance on inheritance tax planning. The entire experience was professional, efficient and incredibly smooth from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellisons to anyone looking for reliable solicitors for wills, inheritance tax advice and LPAs.
