The Cambridge office of Ashtons Legal, which led from Norwich by Tom Bailey, acts as a key hub in the firm's cross-office litigation practice. The team routinely acts for regional developers, national franchisors and several Cambridge colleges in disputes. The 'extremely approachable, diligent and thorough' Michael Frape has an excellent reputation for handling complex, high-value disputes, often assisting clients in the retail, leisure, financial services and property development sectors; Kirsteen Durrant is another key contact for advising on disputes with complex property aspects. Jasdeep Rai left the firm in August 2024.
