Ellodie Gibbons

Profile

Ellodie started life at the Bar as a commercial chancery pupil. Having moved to Tanfield to undertake a commercial second-six pupillage, Ellodie began taking on residential landlord and tenant work, principally for large social landlords and local authorities.

Ellodie has since developed a specialist property practice dealing mainly with all aspects of commercial and residential leases (both short and long) including service and administration charge disputes and leasehold enfranchisement, but also a certain amount of real property work. 

Ellodie retains an interest in commercial matters and her enthusiasm and aptitude for contract disputes means that Ellodie not only deals with contracts between landlords and tenants, but also general commercial contracts, recently assisting on a large international arbitration.

Ellodie also accepts public access instructions.
