Why it matters: The expansion strengthens the firm's ability to provide specialist legal services to individuals and businesses across Suffolk, particularly in areas of high demand such as inheritance planning and employment law.
The details:
Ian Johnston joins as Partner in the Private Client team, bringing more than 16 years' experience in wills, trusts and probate. He specialises in tax and succession planning for business owners and farmers.
Jonathan Insley joins the Employment team as Partner with over 15 years' experience. He focuses on workplace disputes, redundancies and senior exits.
What they're saying: "The opportunity to join Ellisons' highly regarded Private Client team was simply too good to turn down," says Johnston. "Over the years the team has built a fantastic reputation."
Insley says: "It's a really exciting time to join Ellisons. I'm looking forward to supporting clients with their employment law challenges."
Guy Longhurst, Managing Partner at Ellisons, says: "We are thrilled to welcome Ian and Jonathan to the firm. Both are leaders in their respective fields and bring a wealth of experience to our Private Client and Employment teams."
Bottom line: The appointments come as recent changes from the Autumn Budget and new Employment Rights Bill have created increased demand for specialist legal advice.
