Steven Harris has joined the commercial property team at Ellisons Solicitors in Colchester as an assistant solicitor.

Steven started his legal career at Swan Housing Association in Billericay where he worked for almost three years before joining a City firm recognised as a leader in the field of social housing.

Specialising in Registered Social Landlords work, particularly site acquisitions and disposals, Steven also advises on the broader aspects of residential and commercial property making his expertise a perfect fit for Ellisons' property client base.

“I enjoyed gaining City experience,” said Steven, “but knew that in the long term there were too many advantages, both personal and professional, of working in the same community in which you live. I looked for a firm with a warm culture and a strong reputation in property and was delighted to find Ellisons.”

Guy Longhurst, property partner and a managing partner at the firm, said: “Property has always been the firm's strongest area of practice and Steven will be a welcome addition to the team particularly in terms of his social housing experience.”
