Ellie Talbot

I’m a paralegal in the Dispute Resolution department at Lodders.

When did you start at Lodders? Any interesting past employers?
I started at Lodders in 2018, during which time I was working whilst studying. I am now moving on to the next stage of my legal qualification. I have previously worked in fine food, in a riding school, for the National Trust, and as a theatre costume maker.

Are you involved with, or a trustee, of any charities?
On Sundays, I volunteer at the Oxford Natural History Museum, where I get to make people very excited about dinosaurs.

What gets you out of bed in the morning?
Taking my scruffy hound for a run!

Any interesting personal achievements?
I’ve walked a 100-mile stretch of the Great Wall of China, and also the 106-mile Cotswold Way. I was also once employed (at a surprisingly respectable weekly rate) as ‘Understudy to the Second Jellyfish’ at Hereford Courtyard Theatre, in their Dick Whittington Christmas pantomime. Who knew there was even one jellyfish in Dick Whittington?!
