With a clearly defined European growth strategy and a rejuvenated banking practice complementing the firm’s historic reliance on UK Ashurst private equity mandates, Ashurst is a firm on the up. ‘There Simon Bromwich, managing partner; are six firms in the Magic Circle and we rank as the seventh Geoffrey Green, senior partner firm. I think we are heading towards that group,’ said one The comeback kids Ashurst partner, in a comment typical of the firm’s new-found ‘Our aim is to be at the top of whatever we do,’ said confidence. Ashurst partner Geoffrey Green, talking to Legal Business last year. And 2005/06 was the year when Ashurst finally came of age as a confidently branded, progressive law firm in its own right – as opposed to being a perennial US merger target. A focus on improving its profitability has paid huge dividends, with Ashurst making up ground on the Magic Circle and establishing clear blue water between itself and rivals in its immediate peer group. Average profits now stand at £701,000, up 24% from last year. Encouragingly, the firm has seen revenues rise by 28% at the half-year mark of the current financial year, which is expected to translate into another significant profits increase for 2006/07. Ashurst has been extremely active in the laterals market, taking 15 partners internationally. In December, the firm announced that it was set to launch in Stockholm with (L-R) James Baxter and Vanessa Pawsey of Legal Business, Simon Bromwich and the takeover of three-partner AJB Bergh, a move driven by the Geoffrey Green of Ashurst, with Richard Meddelton of The Royal Bank of Scotland HIGHLY COMMENDED has quietly re-established its position as a leading BURGES SALMON UK law firm with a reinvigorated City office.

  • Careers at the Chancery Bar
    Careers at the Chancery Bar With the right qualifications, where you come from doesn’t matter, where you’re going does. “if you are looking for a career which combines intellectual firepower, communication skills and the ability to provide practical solutions to legal problems, then your natural home is the Chancery Bar” 2 Chancery Bar Association Chancery Bar Association 1 Welcome to the Chancery Bar Do you enjoy unravelling the knottiest of legal problems? Would you relish the prospect of your appearances in court helping to develop cutting-edge areas of law? How does advising major commercial concerns to put together a complex transaction appeal? Would you like to assist organisations to achieve their commercial goals, and support and guide individuals at times of great personal stress? If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, then the Chancery Bar may be the career for you. Barristers who specialise in the areas of property, business and finance law most closely associated with the Chancery Division of the High Court are called “Chancery barristers” and, collectively, the “Chancery Bar”. Of the 15,000 barristers practising in England and Wales, about 1,200 specialise in Chancery work. Most are based in London but there are other important regional centres, such as Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester. In recent years the nature of Chancery work has changed dramatically. It still includes the important work traditionally undertaken in the Chancery Division, but the expansion and development of commercial activity, together with the increasingly complex matters that arise out of that activity, have widened its scope significantly.

  • The Test of Remoteness. at First Sight Wellesley Partners LLP V Withers
    TWO IMPORTANT CASES WELLESLEY PARTNERS LLP – the test of remoteness. At first sight Wellesley Partners LLP v Withers LLP [2015] EWCA Civ 1146 is “just another slightly dreary solicitors’ negligence case where attributing fault and assessing damages depended on a combination of close fact-specific analysis and a certain amount of educated guesswork”. The words are not mine, they are those of Professor Tettenborn. However, the learned Professor considers that the case gave rise to two interesting points of law, which it did. It is those I wish to look at briefly. As we all know in very many cases the live issues in professional negligence claims are as much involved with causation and damage as they are with breach of duty and this was a case which resolves important issues which have the potential to impact on a number of claims in the area. The facts of Wellesley can be set out very briefly. Wellesley was a successful firm of head-hunters or as they preferred “executive placement consultants”. It was based in London albeit that one of the founding partners had spun off a business in Hong Kong. In order to facilitate growth it wished to expand the membership of the LLP. One of the new members was to be a middle eastern based bank: ADDAX. The defendant solicitors were engaged to amend the LLP agreement but in doing so, as the trial judge 1 held, mis-drafted the same so that ADDAX could withdraw its money prematurely which, following the Lehman Brothers collapse, it duly did. One of the largest elements of alleged loss related to an allegation that the business had been deprived of the opportunity to open a New York office and to obtain a contract with Nomura which was reconstructing the Lehman Brother business of which it had purchased part.

  • Autumn 2017 Budget: Period Drama Or Zombie Apocalypse?, Practical Law UK Articles
    Autumn 2017 Budget: period drama or zombie apocalypse?, Practical Law UK Articles... Autumn 2017 Budget: period drama or zombie apocalypse? by Practical Law Tax Articles | Published on 24-Nov-2017 | UK, United Kingdom Leading tax experts gave us their views on the Autumn 2017 Budget. (Free access.) We asked leading tax practitioners for their views on the Autumn 2017 Budget. An overview of their comments is set out below; click on a name to read the comment in full. For the main measures of interest to businesses, see Legal update, Autumn 2017 Budget: key business tax announcements. For coverage of the implications of the Autumn 2017 Budget for a range of practice areas and sectors, see Practical Law, Autumn 2017 Budget. Setting the scene Despite an almost effervescent political delivery by "Spreadsheet Phil" (complete with comedic props from his co-star diva, Mrs May), the Autumn 2017 Budget was, barring one or two eye-raising exceptions, not edge of the seat viewing. Simon Skinner, Travers Smith LLP "was left with an impression of lots of words but not that much substance". Geraint Jones, Berg Kaprow Lewis LLP described it as "a rather timid affair" As ever, context is all. This was a minority government on the eve of the biggest destabilising global political event in recent history. And an opposition party biting at its heels with unanticipated vigour. Further, despite Fiscal Phil's audition for the lead role in a comedy caper, the figures belong in a disaster movie. There is surely only so much film star glamour to be mustered whilst uttering the words "[a]nd regrettably our productivity performance continues to disappoint".
