Complex issues made simple
We have been fortunate to see significant expansion during 2020 and so have needed both the legal and HR support provided by Ashtons.
The team at Ashtons were exceptional. We had been lucky to have an initial meeting in abstract prior to lockdown, and this directly fed in to our follow up, helping everything slot in to place.
Since that point we have enjoyed the support from both the legal and the HR teams, with consistently high standards and informative guidance.
Highly recommended and I have no doubt the team will be there the next time we call at some inconvenient time!

Constantly a high quality of advice.
Ashtons Legal has advised me through the disposal of one high worth business and is currently helping me build another. The depth of knowledge, friendliness and honesty has helped me pick my way through the tough decisions often facing an entrepreneur. I have over the years used most services for personal and business reasons. Most recently Ashtons have been helping to write some international contracts in conjunction with the UKTI.
