Ellisons Solicitors, a leading law firm with offices right here in Ipswich, is celebrating a fantastic achievement after being shortlisted for a hat-trick of accolades at the upcoming Modern Law Private Client Awards 2026.
The firm has been recognised in three major categories: Wills & Estate Planning Team of the Year, Probate & Estate Administration Team of the Year, and Court of Protection Team of the Year. These nominations highlight the incredible strength and depth of Ellisons’ Private Client department, as well as the high calibre of work they consistently provide to individuals and families across the East of England.
Delivering Expert, Compassionate Advice
Navigating matters like succession planning or complex estate administration can be incredibly sensitive for families. The team at Ellisons is known for handling these situations with care, offering clear and considered advice when clients need it most.
Nicola Weldon, Partner and Head of Private Client at Ellisons, shared her pride in the team’s achievement. “Three shortlistings in one year is a strong result for the team and reflects the standard of work we are delivering across the board,” she said. “We are dealing with complex and often very personal matters for clients, so it is important we get both the detail and the approach right. You do not achieve that level of recognition without consistent performance, and this speaks to the quality and reliability of the team.”
Specialist Support in the Court of Protection
Alongside their wills and probate work, the firm’s Court of Protection team has also been singled out for its exceptional service. This specialist area of law involves making decisions on behalf of those who may lack the mental capacity to do so themselves, requiring a delicate balance of technical knowledge, careful judgement, and empathy.
Kay Baker, Partner and Head of Court of Protection, added: “This is a strong acknowledgement of the work carried out by our Court of Protection team. We support clients who depend on us to act in their best interests over the long term, which requires careful judgement as well as technical expertise. The team takes that responsibility seriously, and it is positive to see that reflected here.”
It is always wonderful to see businesses that serve our local community being recognised on a national stage. Alongside their Ipswich base, Ellisons operates from their Colchester headquarters and has further offices in Bury St Edmunds, Chelmsford, Frinton-on-Sea, and Norwich, making them a significant part of the region’s professional landscape.
The Modern Law Private Client Awards champion excellence across the sector, shining a spotlight on the individuals and teams setting the standard for service, expertise, and innovation. We will be keeping our fingers crossed for the Ellisons team when the winners are officially announced on Wednesday 1 July 2026 at Coombe Abbey in Coventry!
