About Ashurst

Every year, Ashurst aims to maintain its position as one of the world’s leading law firms, a position highlighted by the high quality, complex and often groundbreaking work we handle for our clients.

Recent high-profile projects include the Trans Thai-Malaysian Pipeline and the Coal India IPO (which were voted Deal of the Year 2010 by Euromoney (Oil and Gas) and Asian Counsel (Capital Markets) respectively).

In the US, our finance-based practice now works with most of the major investment banks, while in the Middle East our work with Islamic banks to refinance Emirates Steel won Islamic Finance News’ most recent UAE Deal of the Year.

In Europe, as well as advising on around a quarter of all public mergers and acquisitions announced in the UK in 2010, we were involved in the Rovigo PV mandate, which was voted Project Finance magazine’s 2010 European Solar Deal of the Year.

As you would expect, we work with a wide variety of organisations from every industry imaginable and, looking forward, our services are increasingly in demand to service our multinational clients around the globe.

A word from our Senior Partner

Working in one of the leading international law firms gives you an opportunity to encounter a wide variety of challenges, to get close to many different types of business and to experience many different cultures; few careers can offer such variety and challenge, and the chance to work with so many outstanding people.

But not all law firms are the same. Every organisation develops its own culture and you will need to find out which law firm suits you best. Here at Ashurst, we have a strong entrepreneurial culture within a firm that is not so large or institutional that individualism cannot flourish. It is important to us that the people who work here can have a sense of fun; clients not only want the highest quality legal skills, commercial acumen and service: they also want a team of lawyers who enjoy working with each other.

For me, joining Ashurst was one of the best things I have done. If you are thinking about a career in an international law firm and are looking for a supportive and unstuffy work environment, we would like to hear from you. Bringing out the best in the people that we recruit is a way for us to maintain and build on our high reputation.
