# Ellis Bates Legal Solutions Limited
Ellis Bates Legal Solutions Limited operates as Shackleton, a financial advisory firm based in Newcastle upon Tyne that is transforming the UK's independent financial planning landscape. Following the acquisition of Hurst Point Group, Shackleton has become one of Britain's largest independent financial planning firms, uniting respected, long-established practices under a single philosophy.
The firm serves individuals and business owners across the UK seeking comprehensive financial guidance. Their clientele ranges from those planning retirement and managing wealth to business owners requiring specialist advice and employees navigating benefits schemes.
What distinguishes Shackleton is their commitment to fair, transparent, and dependable financial advice grounded in proven expertise. Rather than prioritising profit margins, they've adopted a unified, affordable fee structure across all client relationships. The company draws inspiration from Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Trans-Antarctic Expedition, embodying values of dependability, fairness, courage, and respect—principles that shape their organisational culture and client interactions.
By consolidating independent advisory practices whilst preserving their individual expertise, Shackleton delivers consistent, high-quality advice nationwide. This approach challenges the traditional financial services model by emphasising mutual respect, simplicity, and genuine client-first positioning. Their multidisciplinary team comprises experienced advisers with typically three decades or more of professional credibility, ensuring clients benefit from sophisticated guidance delivered with integrity and accessibility.
