From NDAs, ownership and IP protection to funding readiness and investor confidence, this episode offers practical guidance for founders looking to turn innovation into a stronger, more investable business.

This Dementia Action Week, we are proud to recognise the important work being done across our communities to support those affected by dementia.

We are proud to sponsor two dementia cafés: Ipswich Town Foundation’s Golden Days Café and Thingymajigs Café in Chelmsford. These cafés offer welcoming spaces where people living with dementia can come together and feel part of a supportive community.

Many members of our team have achieved Dementia Friends status, meaning they have taken part in dementia awareness training that provides them with the ability to offer the usual high level of client expertise and personalised service with a knowledge of communicating with people affected by and living with dementia.

If you are living with dementia, or supporting someone who is, Ellisons can offer clear, compassionate advice on planning for the future and making important legal decisions with confidence.

Please get in touch with our team to find out how we can support you.

When a dispute involves allegations of dishonesty, the legal detail can quickly become complex. But at the heart of many fraud and misrepresentation claims is a simple question: did one party cause another to believe something that was not true?

A recent Privy Council decision has brought that question back into sharp focus. It considers how far the law should go when someone has been misled, particularly where the misleading conduct was not obvious, direct or consciously recognised at the time.

This article looks at why the decision matters, what it changes, and why those involved in commercial, financial and construction disputes should take note.

Great start to the season! Tuesday night saw the Ellisons 5-a-side team kick off their 2026 Bury Professionals Football League campaign with an action-packed first fixture against Ensors.

In a high-energy and closely contested match, the teams battled it out to an impressive 8–8 draw: plenty of goals and a great showcase of teamwork and determination on both sides.

A fantastic start to the season – we’re looking forward to seeing how the team progresses in the coming weeks!
