Ashurst
We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:
The ‘very strong team’ at Ashurst delivers ’pragmatic, commercial and often innovative advice’ for stakeholders at every level of the capital structure. Although the team has significant experience advising on cross-border matters – where it can leverage resources across the firm’s extensive EMEA and APAC network of offices – it has been particularly active of late on a range of high-profile domestic mandates. Team head Olga Galazoula has been at the forefront of many of these, particularly within the retail sector, including her work for the Morrisons Group on its acquisition of the McColl’s convenience store network via a pre-pack administration sale. The team also has a very strong reputation in dealing with regulated financial services firms, an area that the ‘very experienced and highly knowledgeable’ Drew Sainsbury has developed a niche. Giles Boothman provides ’innovative solutions’ to funds, including in relation to loan-to-own strategies. Counsel Inga West is also recommended.
