Ashtons Legal draws a strong client base of regional agricultural and owner-managed businesses and acts for a number of multi-generational families. French law is a niche strength for the practice. The Cambridge office is a key location for the firm’s wider offering, and Lynn Wicks heads the individual client services, as well as being active in the lifetime planning team. Jennie Pratt has extensive wealth management and tax planning experience, and private client specialist Christina Duck is a further key name. Amy Pettitt comes with client recommendation, and Zara Bracegirdle is well versed in supporting clients with overseas assets and interests.
