Ellisons Solicitors—24 promotions

Firm celebrates internal talent with raft of promotions

Ellisons Solicitors has promoted more than 20 colleagues internally as it continues to strengthen its team across the Eastern region.

The promotions were celebrated at the AGM and Colleague Awards ceremony hosted at the Mercury Theatre in Colchester. Colleagues who have consistently gone above and beyond Ellisons’ core values were also recognised.

The promotions include people from the Legal and Business Operations Group across the six offices in Essex and Suffolk.

Guy Longhurst, Managing Partner, said: “At Ellisons, we invest heavily in developing colleagues’ talents and specialisms, as well as creating first-class career opportunities. We will always celebrate those who go above and beyond, and our award-winning educational programmes enable colleagues to set clear goals and learning opportunities. It is a pleasure to see colleagues continue to flourish and reward internal success with our latest set of promotions.”

With a 250-year history and strong values centred around clients and colleagues, Ellisons Solicitors is one of the most recognised and highly sought after law firms in the East of England.

Among those promoted were;

  • Four partners and one legal director
  • Five senior associate solicitors
  • Eight associate solicitors
  • A new, internally appointed head of finance

During the event, the firm celebrated long-serving colleagues as well as those who have exemplified Ellisons values. 12 colleagues from various departments were awarded the ‘Ellisons Core Values Champion’ award, based on nominations by their team members. Each had displayed exceptional teamwork, care and professionalism in everything they do for their clients and colleagues.
