Description

Introduction

The firm was founded over 200 years ago. In that time we have gone through several transformations, each bringing a new focus and a new addition to our clientele. Many of our present client relationships have their roots in relationships forged well over a century ago: testament, we believe, to our ability to evolve with our clients and provide legal advice and service which helps clients succeed, whatever the particular circumstances of the time.

Trollope & Winckworth

This was the name under which the firm first opened for business. John Ellis, one of the founders, started practising law in 1777 and was joined by George Crawley a year later. Ellises and Crawleys figure prominently among the firm’s partners for the greater part of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The firm has always had a strong connection with clients based in Westminster. The Ellises and Crawleys acted in all the Metropolitan Police Receiver’s early property transactions (the Police Office was set up in Whitehall Place in 1829, moving to the Norman Shaw building on the Victoria Embankment in 1890 and to its present home in Victoria in 1967).
