Firm In Transition - Ashurst

Major changes are taking place at Ashurst at a global level as the firm reviews its management and equity structures – meanwhile, the firm's Spanish office is also taking steps to alter its working practices to maximise cross-selling opportunities

"The only constant in life is change." This is a quote often attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, though its origins are disputed. Regardless of who actually said it, the words ring as true today as they ever have, especially in light of the seismic shift in Europe following the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union.

At a more micro level, change is also a recurring theme for many law firms with Ashurst being no exception. In addition to currently undergoing a management restructure at global level –under the leadership of global managing partner Paul Jenkins who assumed his new role on 1 June this year – the firm is also in the process of reviewing its equity structure.
