Ashfords LLP

Ashfords LLP maintains a robust presence in the South West while also leveraging its London-based expertise, particularly in contentious matters. Bristol-based team head Melissa George is well-versed in helping directors and companies manage distressed situations without recourse to any formal procedures, as well as being skilled at advising IPs in formal insolvency scenarios. In London, the ‘highly commercial’ Crispin Jones is the main contact for insolvencies involving contentious issues, including as it relates to tax avoidance schemes. He is also particularly adept at advising on law firm restructurings.
