Ecclesiastical

Our Ecclesiastical Team, which forms part of our Real Estate Group, has that specialist legal knowledge to ensure we can provide the highest levels of service to our Ecclesiastical clients.

Headed by Partner Simon Ellis, who is recognised by Chambers and Partners – client guides to the legal profession as being an expert in the field of church law, our Ecclesiastical Team has the depth of experience and understanding in church matters that is required by our clients.

We advise on every kind of legal issue that churches may face including faculty procedures, pastoral re-organisation and issues concerning the appointment of clergy and independent advice in relation to the Clergy Discipline Measure. Matters related to church-owned land and property are a particular speciality.
