Muckle LLP continues to strengthen its legal expertise by welcoming a newly qualified solicitor.
Ella Johnson, originally from County Durham, has joined the firm’s highly regarded Real Estate Dispute Resolution team, which has consistently earned a top-tier ranking in Legal 500 UK.
Ella brings a diverse academic background to the role, having studied an undergraduate History degree at Newcastle University before completing a Law Conversion course and the Legal Practice Course (LPC) at Northumbria University.
During her training contract, Ella gained valuable experience across several practice areas, including corporate, dispute resolution, sports, education and charity, and real estate law.
Ella said: “During my time at school and university, I gravitated towards essay-based subjects that developed my communication and critical thinking skills. Moving into a career where I can put these skills into practice felt like the obvious next step. I enjoy knowing that the work I’m doing is helping clients find a practical way forward.
“I’ve already been given a lot of responsibility early on, which has been great in helping me learn and grow. The support from Charlotte and the rest of the team has been amazing and I’m looking forward to being part of a tight knit team.
“I chose to specialise in Real Estate Dispute Resolution because the work is interesting and varied. I find I am particularly drawn to the dynamic and tactical nature of contentious legal work.
Charlotte McMurchie, Partner and Head of Real Estate Dispute Resolution at Muckle LPP, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Ella to the team. She has already shown real enthusiasm and a willingness to take responsibility, which is exactly what we look for in our newly qualified solicitors.
“Our Real Estate Dispute Resolution team is growing quickly and it’s important for us to bring in talented lawyers who are committed to delivering clear, practical solutions for our clients. We’re looking forward to working alongside Ella and seeing her grow at the firm.”
