Regional law firm Ellis Jones Solicitors has won independent recognition for the excellence of its private wealth legal services in a prestigious annual publication.

The latest Chambers High Net Worth Guide has placed the firm’s Private Wealth Disputes and Private Wealth Law teams in bands two and three of its national rankings.  

Two individual Ellis Jones lawyers have also been listed: Partners Carla Brown and Lauren Day.

Carla, Head of Wills, Trusts & Probate, is ranked as a Leading Individual in the top Band One for Private Wealth Law in Southampton and Surrounds.

And Lauren, Head of Dispute Resolution, is named as a Leading Individual in Band Two for Private Wealth Disputes in the South West, up from her Band Three ranking last year. 

The independent High Net Worth Guide ranks lawyers and firms specialising in private wealth.

It is compiled following rigorous research and in-depth interviews with thousands of clients, legal practitioners and market sources.

Nigel Smith, Ellis Jones Managing Partner, said:

“I congratulate Lauren and Carla, and all in our Private Wealth Disputes and Private Wealth Law teams, on this welcome independent recognition.

“It is a further testament to our pre-eminent strengths in serving high net worth clients in our region.

“Our lawyers consistently demonstrate talent and a commitment to achieving the highest standards of client service and it is immensely satisfying to have this recognised by Chambers & Partners.”

Last year, the separate Chambers UK Legal Guide ranked Ellis Jones in two practice areas with five individual lawyers recommended and three listed as ones to watch for the future.

This year’s Chambers UK Legal Guide will be published in the autumn.

Ellis Jones Solicitors – with 178 staff including 21 Partners – has seven offices across the South, in Hampshire, Dorset and London.
