The big picture: The Ipswich office of Ellisons has welcomed Cerys Gunn as its newest qualified solicitor, bringing the total number of fee earners in the Insolvency and Debt Recovery team to seven, strengthening the firm's ability to handle complex corporate recovery projects alongside smaller insolvency cases.
Why it matters: The expansion comes at a time when many local businesses are navigating financial difficulties and seeking professional guidance for debt recovery and restructuring.
What they're saying: "The growth of our team reflects Ellisons' dedication to building a truly specialist offering in insolvency and restructuring," says Scott Porter, Partner and Head of the Insolvency team. "The team's size and expertise place it on par with much larger firms."
Cerys added: “I’m thrilled to have qualified into such a supportive and experienced team at Ellisons. The variety and complexity of work in the Insolvency team make this an exciting area of law, and I look forward to helping our clients navigate difficult situations with clarity and confidence.”
Behind the scenes: Gunn's journey with Ellisons began in August 2021, progressing to trainee solicitor in September 2022. She spent a year with the Insolvency team before qualifying.
The bigger picture: Ellisons, celebrating its 260th anniversary in 2024, continues to expand its services across the East of England. The firm holds the Law Society's Lexcel quality mark and is a member of the Alliott Global Alliance, connecting it to international legal and financial advisors.
Bottom line: As economic pressures continue to affect local businesses, Ellisons' expanded insolvency team aims to provide comprehensive support for everything from small insolvency matters to complex corporate recovery projects.
