Lomax + Wood EOT

Paul and Abigail were excellent, providing a superb service at a competitive rate. They guided us through the complexity of an EOT and provided the correct balance of technical advice and plain speaking. All in all my best legal experience to date, this was my third deal but my first EOT.

Share transfer and revised Articles of Association

We were in the middle of a very difficult case which had resulted in the share transfer of a company. Ellisons were able to transfer the shares and suggested for clarity moving forward to revise the Articles and produce a new shareholders agreement. It was all done at minimum cost and minimum fuss. And it has given me peace of mind that this contentious company will now remain quorate and under the shareholders control. We were very happy with the professional approach taken by Ellisons

B & D Plastics Company Sale

We employed Ellisons as our legal team for the sale of our business. As it turned out, a very good decision! Paul Forsyth & Alfie Rowland were our main points of contact and they were thorough and professional throughout the whole process. We didn't realise what a task awaited us at the outset, but the advice and guidance we received to get us through the legal process was exceptional. Big thanks to Paul & his team, you were a pleasure to deal with.

Selling your business- the legals

Selling your business you've spent years building is a stressful and scary prospect- you'll probably only do it once and you want it done right. Having a good legal team to guide you through the process is an absolute necessity. We found the commercial team at Ellisons to be personable, professional and very helpful through this unique (to us) period of time. Tight time scales and a wide range of issues, from lease legalities, commercial property sale issues, and sensitive commercial information about your business, there are a lot of hurdles to jump to get to an end goal. We were glad we chose Paul and his team at Ellisons, they worked diligently and professionally to lead us to the best result for us.

Guidance, Support and best way for graduate route suggested by Meenal Goyal

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Meenal Goyal for her outstanding support throughout my visa application process. From the beginning, she was professional, kind, and extremely helpful. Meenal is an excellent listener who took the time to understand my situation and answer all of my questions patiently. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication gave me confidence throughout the process. She worked diligently on my application and kept me informed at every stage. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my graduate route was successfully granted. I truly appreciate all the effort she put into my case and would highly recommend Meenal Goyal to anyone seeking immigration or visa assistance. Thank you Ellison for your excellent service and support.

0 Stars isn't an option. Absolutely dreadful - did not perform the task they were paid to do then ran up billable hours on things I hadn't approved. Funds on account was used up on pointless tasks (that I'd already paid someone else to do) and successfully wasted 6 months on a time sensitive matter. Asked for justification of billing and was told in was in her (Lauren's) notes but were unable/willing to provide anything that would be considered "legally admissible" to support this - I was asked to attend a meeting but the requestee didn't turn up; I was asked to communicate through a specific email address but never received a response, instead their comm's came from a different address that i didn't know about and hadn't approved into my inbox. They are obliged to work in the best interest of the client but I have nothing that supports this. Avoid at all costs. Matter now with the Legal Ombudsman and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

We are sorry to read your comments. This matter has been thoroughly reviewed through our formal complaints process, including independent assessment. As a regulated firm, we take all concerns seriously and follow established procedures to ensure they are addressed fairly.

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.

Marion Knocker recently acted on our sale and purchase, and I can't recommend her and her team highly enough. She often went above and beyond to progress matters as swiftly as possible.
