First Time Adjudication Defence
We were recommended to Ellisons and more specifically to Ian Seeley through an industry colleague. Our construction company had received for the first time in our companies history an adjudication referral.
Ian and his team could not have been more helpful in guiding us through the process and legal proceedings in fighting the dispute. His rebuttals were insightful, informative and most importantly combative. This allowed us to defend and challenge the evidence submitted in the most effective way. There were clear and concise arguments and counterclaims.
Ultimately Ian successfully defended us and we could not have been happier with the outcome.
I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to seek dispute resolution advice in the construction industry.

Ian "Blackadder" Seeley
I have worked with Ian on a number of matters. His advice has been invaluable. Of course he knows his stuff, the difference for me is how that is applied. Sensible solutions rather than rigid responses. All options properly discussed and agreed. Clever and incisive and plans so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel (sorry I guess this is supposed to be serious).

Dispute advice
Ian was very clear in his advice and correspondence, a view shared by our insurers lawyers once they were appointed to take over the defense of a claim
