Regional law firm Ellis Jones Solicitors, with offices in Dorset, Hampshire, and London, has promoted Daniel Flynn to Partner within its Dispute Resolution department.

Daniel, a highly regarded solicitor, has earned this prestigious promotion in under two years since joining the firm. Based in London, he is one of only three senior lawyers at Ellis Jones to hold the status of Solicitor Advocate, granting him the same rights of audience in higher civil courts as a barrister.

His expertise allows clients to work closely with him from the start of their legal proceedings, ensuring a seamless and strategic approach to dispute resolution.

The promotion comes amid an expansion of Ellis Jones’ practice network across the south with the recent openings of new offices in Dorchester and Wimborne, taking the total to eight.

Daniel, who has practised in London throughout his legal career, is a member of Ellis Jones’ growing team in the Capital.

The firm recently moved to larger office accommodation in Fleet Street to better support the provision of a full range of services in London as well as the south coast.

As a specialist in disputed trusts and estates, Daniel manages a busy caseload focused on the law of probate including issues around inheritance, wills, breach of contract, the roles of executors and trustees, and the ownership of land and both residential and commercial property.

He qualified as a solicitor in 2016 and joined Ellis Jones in 2023 as a Senior Associate Solicitor.

As well as being a Solicitor Advocate, he is a full member of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS).

Daniel said of his promotion: “By stepping up to the new role of Partner I can contribute more to Ellis Jones’ strategic growth while still applying my skills and insight to advise and act for clients.”

Congratulating Daniel on what he described as a ‘much deserved promotion’, Ellis Jones Managing Partner Nigel Smith said: “We always look to promote and encourage talent among our team.

“Daniel is a key colleague, known for his legal acumen particularly around cases involving disputed trusts and estates.

“He has built a strong reputation for outstanding work and his leadership at Partner level will further strengthen our ability to provide the highest quality of client services.

“Adding senior depth to our team coupled with the expansion of our office network makes us well positioned for more growth.”

Ellis Jones has eight offices in Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne, Swanage, Dorchester and Ringwood as well as Fleet Street in London.
