Ellis Pugh

A member of our social housing team, Ellis advises registered providers on matters including corporate governance, mergers, restructuring, collaborative working, and regulatory compliance.

As a charity lawyer he is able to help social housing providers navigate the charity land disposal regime, along with providing advice on a range of charity law matters including registration with the Charity Commission, responding to regulatory inquiries, drafting and amending governing documents, incorporation, mergers and transfers, dissolution, the creation of group structures, compliance, trustee duties, trading matters and other ad hoc queries.

Ever enthusiastic about charity governance, Ellis is a trustee of two local charities in his spare time. He also enjoys playing badminton and singing in a male voice choir.

What clients have said about Ellis- “I find him very approachable and amenable to the random and unexpected queries that he helps me deal with. He has a good sense of humour – that works well under our circumstances! He provides a prompt, courteous and personalised service that feels more like a partnership than client-solicitor relationship. I feel confident that he can deal with any query I could throw at him, and have every confidence in all the work he undertakes on my behalf.”

“I have really enjoyed working with you on this project. You made the whole process easy and stress free. You dealt with queries promptly; produced the documentation without delay and seamlessly brought it to a successful conclusion. Given our previous experience, I would say, you were better than good! You were outstanding! Thank you.”
