Ellie joined BHP Law in September 2020 as a Solicitor Apprentice in our Court of Protection team. Since then, she has gained experience across several departments, including Court of Protection, Family (Public & Private), Dispute Resolution, and Debt Recovery. Throughout her training, Ellie has handled a complex caseload spanning a range of matters, developing a wealth of legal knowledge and expertise over her five years with us.

Ellie has recently transitioned to working alongside both our Corporate & Commercial Law team and our Commercial and Agricultural Property team to complete the final elements of her training.

In December 2024, Ellie graduated from Northumbria University with First-Class Honours in Law & Legal Practice. In recognition of her outstanding academic performance, she was placed on Northumbria University’s honour roll. Ellie is now preparing for the Solicitors Qualifying Exams, aiming to qualify as a solicitor in 2026 upon completing her apprenticeship.

Alongside her legal training and studies, Ellie is passionate about fostering opportunities for aspiring lawyers. She established our Year 12 & 13 Work Experience Programme, which now runs annually.
