More About Ashurst

Ashurst LLP is an elite law firm advising corporates and financial institutions with core businesses in mergers and acquisitions, corporate and finance. Our strong and growing international presence is built on extensive experience of working with clients on the complex international legal and regulatory issues relating to cross-border transactions. Our main areas of practice are in Corporate; Employment, Incentives and Pensions; Energy, Transport and Infrastructure; EU & Competition; International Finance; Litigation and Arbitration; Real Estate; Tax; and Technology and Commercial. We have 205 partners, around 850 other lawyers and a total staff of over 1800 working in 14 international offices; Abu Dhabi, Brussels, Frankfurt, Dubai, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, New Delhi, New York, Paris, Singapore, Stockholm and Tokyo.

Your Training Contract will consist of four seats. For each, you will sit with a partner or solicitor who will be the main source of your work and your principal supervisor during that seat. You will, however, be encouraged to work with a variety of solicitors during the course of your training. Seats are generally for six months. Anything less than that will not give you sufficient depth of experience for the responsibility we expect you to take on. We ask trainees to spend one seat in our Corporate department and one seat in our International Finance department. Trainees spend their two remaining seats in our other areas of practice or on a secondment to an international office or one of our major clients.
