Career

Asher is a specialist family law Barrister who is authorised to practice by the Bar Council and is regulated by the Bar Standards Board. He has a right of audience in every court in England and Wales.

Asher is a former Royal Marine and served on operations around the world. He later became a police officer with the Thames Valley police, which sparked his interest in law. He graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a First Class Honours Degree (LLB), achieving the highest degree classification of his academic year.

Asher joined Chambers in 2012. However, he has also practiced as in-house counsel with a prominent firm of solicitors and has extensive litigation experience.

He brings a depth of life experience to his practice. He is able to offer exceptional client care, combined with pragmatism and sound legal judgement.

Asher undertakes public access work and appears on the Bar Council Public Access Register. This allows members of the public to instruct Asher directly, without having to go through a solicitor (although Asher also accepts instructions from solicitors in the traditional way).
