Alex Ellingham

Alex Ellingham is a Senior Associate Solicitor in the Wills, Tax & Probate team, based in the Norwich office.

With over 10 years’ experience advising individuals and families on a broad range of Private Client matters, Alex holds the STEP Diploma in Trusts and Estates and has particular expertise in estate planning, inheritance tax and the use of trusts to protect and preserve family wealth. She has also been recognised in the Legal500 on two occasions.

Alex advises on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, trusts and estate planning. Having previously worked with high-net-worth individuals and families, Alex has experience advising on tax-efficient Wills, succession planning and trust structures, helping clients to navigate complex financial and family arrangements, and effectively plan for the future.

She takes a practical and considered approach to advice, recognising that effective estate planning is about more than tax efficiency alone. She enjoys building long-term relationships with clients and developing solutions that reflect their individual circumstances, priorities and long-term objectives.

Outside of work, Alex enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly paddle-boarding or kayaking on the river or at the coast. She has a background in competitive rowing and enjoys walking and cycling. She shares her interests in birdwatching and beekeeping with her children, and enjoys exploring topics around psychology, wellbeing and ways to live well. Cooking is another passion of hers, along with an appreciation of wines from the Bourgogne region, having previously lived there.
