I trained here and it’s a great firm. Partners and senior associates always willing to explain matters and tasks in detail. Technical training/expertise is second to none – you will actually develop negotiation and drafting skills as compared to US firms where it’s same PE precedent docs.

The only thing I would say is that they should increase NQ pay, but I think like MC firms they’ve invested so much in the US, maybe not enough money to go around!

In reply to Just my two cents. Fair enough. Horrible people to have on the other side. Die in a ditch over the most minor points every time I am on the other side, counterproductive towards getting any form of deal done and partners get overly animated about stuff (its a deal... im not shooting your dog).

How about they match HSF’S NQ rate rather than paying to commission a book no one will read…

One of the oldest firms in the City and the English-speaking world. That’s pretty cool, as is that the firm continues to be a nice and fun (as law firms go) place to work at.

And before someone squeals, I’m not a member of the firm’s HR, just an NQ that likes their job at Ashurst.
