On 1 January 1859, Eyre Goulburn Ellis, who had been admitted as the fourth conveyancer in the colony of New South Wales, opened the doors of the firm which continues in practice as Makinson & d'Apice. Ellis developed a substantial practice in the relatively young colony and held a number of public offices. In 1865 Ellis admitted Henry Makinson as a partner in the practice which then became known as Ellis & Makinson. The Makinson family have continued to have an association with the firm since that time. In 1866, the partners employed William Plunkett, who was a nephew of John Plunkett, a former Attorney General of New South Wales and Australia's first Queen's Counsel.
