We provide specialist legal advice to businesses and, being employee owned, provide our staff with a unique working environment and outstanding career opportunities.
We are fortunate to work with many innovators and entrepreneurs from the UK and around the world. We work closely with our clients as they establish, develop or sell their businesses. We advise on the protection of IP rights and our leading litigation team fights the corner of businesses whose rights have been infringed.
Our core focus is on commercial and corporate law, and dispute resolution. Our watchword has always been quality over quantity, and despite our boutique size we are pleased that our Dispute Resolution practice is ranked alongside much larger practices by the Legal 500, in recognition of the expertise and experience of our lawyers.
We frequently work with Magic and Silver Circle law firms on the other side of the table, and a large element of our work has an international dimension, particularly involving clients in Asia and America. Our clients come from a wide range of sectors and our lawyers enjoy forging deep relationships with them.
Culbert Ellis welcomes applications from lawyers and prospective trainee solicitors who would be interested in joining our team. If you would be interested in working with us, we would be delighted to hear from you and please send your CV and covering letter to Julie Payne.
