Regional law firm Ellis Jones Solicitors has won recognition in a prestigious annual publication.

Its private wealth disputes team has been ranked for its excellence in the latest Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide for 2022.

Three of Ellis Jones’ top lawyers have also been listed – partners Lauren Day, Carla Brown and Victoria Riddleston.

Carla, who is head of wills, trusts and probate, ranked as a leading individual in band 1 for private wealth law in Southampton and surrounds.

Lauren, who is head of dispute resolution, was named as a leading individual in band 3 for private wealth disputes in the south.

Newly-promoted Partner Victoria was recognised as an up and coming lawyer for private wealth disputes in the south.

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

Nigel Smith, Ellis Jones managing partner, said: “Congratulations to Lauren, Carla, Victoria and all in our private wealth disputes team.

“Receiving independent endorsement from Chambers and Partners is testament to the depth of talent, commitment to the highest standards and wealth of experience at Ellis Jones.

“Our lawyers are consistently recognised by Chambers and Partners in its guides which spurs us on to provide even greater service for our many valued clients.”
