Ellisons has announced that chief operating officer Lizzy Firmin has joined the firm’s equity partnership. The appointment recognises her significant contribution to the leadership and management of the business since she joined in 2019 and reinforces the strength and stability of Ellisons’ senior team.
Firmin (pictured, right) first joined Ellisons as an HR consultant in 2019 before becoming HR director in early 2020, just before the onset of the pandemic. She went on to succeed John Turner as chief operating officer in 2022 and has since played a key role in shaping the firm’s values-based strategy and renewed focus on colleague experience.
Managing partner Guy Longhurst (left) said it was ‘a very proud moment for Ellisons’, adding that Firmin had ‘guided us through the challenges of recent years, embedding our values and championing both colleague experience and client excellence’. He added that her decision to commit her long-term future to the firm was ‘fantastic news for the firm, our clients and every member of our team’.
Firmin said she was ‘honoured to join the equity partnership at such an exciting time for Ellisons’ and ‘incredibly proud of what we have achieved together so far’. She added that she looked forward to continuing to work with the leadership team and colleagues ‘to build on our successes and shape the future of the firm’.
