Ashtons Legal has a strong regional offering that encompasses M&A transactions, franchising deals, and a strong sector focus on the technology, care home, and banking spaces. The corporate and commercial practice is led from Ipswich by Geoff Hazlewood, but Nick Palmer continues to re-establish the firm’s presence in Cambridge, where he focuses on owner-managed family businesses and entrepreneurs. His work primarily involves M&A, business structuring and corporate governance work.
