Our profile
Ashurst LLP is an international law firm with offices in Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, New York, Paris, Tokyo and Singapore, as well as a liaison office in New Delhi. Founded in 1822, the firm has 145 partners and 613 other lawyers. The firm focuses on all aspects of business and financial law and also has a large number of cross-departmental groups to provide specialist coverage in areas including intellectual property, commercial contracts and EU law.
Ashurst LLP works with its clients and intermediaries to anticipate their future requirements and to help them to adapt to changing market conditions. In particular, Ashurst LLP has responded effectively to its clients growing involvement in larger, increasingly complex and international deals.
Our international experience
In M&A, we are increasingly advising on multi-jurisdictional acquisitions and disposals and we have considerable experience of managing and co-ordinating overseas lawyers supporting such transactions. The firm's Banking and Capital Markets practice also works regularly on cross-border transactions.
With offices based in London and Brussels, the firm also has a strong competition practice which is heavily involved with mergers and associations between separate companies which are contentious on competition grounds and subject to intensive lobbying.
The firm's tax practice includes cross-border mergers and acquisitions and leveraged transactions, collective investment schemes, demergers, securitisations and debt trading.
Worldwide Offices
London
The work in our London office can be broken into five broad categories: company and commercial, property, litigation, banking and capital markets and tax. Company and commercial is the area on which the office focuses most strongly, providing advice on M&A, private equity, EU & competition, insolvency and reconstruction, insurance, energy and intellectual property. Whilst much of the office's activity is UK-based, its client base and its work is increasingly international, including a significant amount from the US.
Belgium
Opened in 1989, this office's main areas of work are competition, trade, regulatory and Belgian company/commercial law.
France
The main areas of work in this office are M&A, stock exchange, corporate, commercial, banking, finance, commercial litigation and arbitration and tax. The office opened in 1991.
Germany
The Frankfurt office opened in 1997 and handles M&A, leveraged buy-outs, acquisition finance, tax restructurings and employment law matters.
Our Munich office opened in May 2001 and will initially focus on corporate tax and complex litigation with the intention that it quickly expands to include mergers and acquisitions, private equity and financing.
Both the Frankfurt office and the Munich office will be managed by the Frankfurt managing partner, Dr. Hermann Schlindwein.
