We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:
Ashurst’s broad planning practice has three key areas of focus: acting for developers, representing clients from the public sector, and its standalone infrastructure work. The team participates in energy and energy from waste projects, and has experience in transport infrastructure, counting companies such as Aviva and TfL among its clients. As well as significant regeneration projects in London, the firm is also advising on urban extensions and new settlements outside of the capital. The team handles contentious planning matters, including CPOs and appeals, seeing matters through to both the High Court and the Supreme Court. Practice co-head Trevor Goode’s extensive experience in CPOs and town centre regeneration enables him to lead on several of the team’s key projects. The ‘excellent’ Claire Dutch specialises in all aspects of planning law and she was promoted to practice head of the firm’s wider UK real estate team in November 2022. Charlie Reid was recently promoted to counsel and, alongside senior associate Ben Groves, has been advising some of the team’s key clients.
