Muckle LLP adds new dispute resolution solicitor

Newcastle-based law firm Muckle LLP has expanded its real estate dispute resolution team with the appointment of newly qualified solicitor Ella Johnson.

Ella, originally from County Durham, joins the top-tier Legal 500–ranked team after completing her training contract, where she gained experience across corporate, dispute resolution, sports, education, charity and real estate law. 

She holds a history degree from Newcastle University and completed both her law conversion and LPC at Northumbria University.

Ella said: “During my time at school and university, I gravitated towards essay-based subjects that developed my communication and critical thinking skills. 

“Moving into a career where I can put these skills into practice felt like the obvious next step. I enjoy knowing that the work I’m doing is helping clients find a practical way forward. 

“I’ve already been given a lot of responsibility early on, which has been great in helping me learn and grow. 

“The support from Charlotte and the rest of the team has been amazing and I’m looking forward to being part of a tight knit team. 

“I chose to specialise in real estate dispute resolution because the work is interesting and varied. 

“I find I am particularly drawn to the dynamic and tactical nature of contentious legal work.”

Ella’s appointment further strengthens Muckle’s specialist real estate dispute resolution offering as the firm continues to invest in early career talent.

Charlotte McMurchie, partner and head of real estate dispute resolution at Muckle LPP, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Ella to the team. 

“She has already shown real enthusiasm and a willingness to take responsibility, which is exactly what we look for in our newly qualified solicitors.

“Our real estate dispute resolution team is growing quickly and it’s important for us to bring in talented lawyers who are committed to delivering clear, practical solutions for our clients. 

“We’re looking forward to working alongside Ella and seeing her grow at the firm.”
